Run or Dye
// 3 Oct

Wuthering Heights // 6-10 Oct
Wuthering Heights is based on Emily
Brontë’s romantic masterpiece: a tale of
passionate and obsessive love on the
Yorkshire Moors. It is choreographed by
Northern Ballet’s artistic director, David
Nixon, and set to an original score by
celebrated composer, Claude-Michel
Schönberg, known for his West End and
Broadway hits Les Misérables and Miss
Saigon. Wuthering Heights tells of Cathy
and Heathcliff – inseparable as children,
their childish affection deepens into an overwhelming love. As their lives
take different paths, their bond develops into a devastating force as unruly
and dangerous as the Moors that surround them. This production will see
Northern Ballet’s dancers at their dramatic best capturing the spirit of their
characters and drawing the audience into this untameable love story.
7.30pm (Thursday and Saturday matinee 2.30pm). Price: £17-£39.50
