The Production
Set in Renaissance Venice, this sumptuous reimagining of the 19th-century classic La Bayadère will bring a taste of Piazza San Marco and life-size Venetian gondolas to the stage. With the original score by Ludwig Minkus played live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, gorgeous designs by Anna Fleischle and show-stopping dance that includes the iconic Kingdom of the Shades scene, this new production promises to be the ballet sensation of 2026.
The Maiden of Venice is an ambitious production costing £2 million, and you can support our fundraising by joining us at this exclusive event.
