Maiden of Venice Giving Circle

Be part of our story and join the Maiden of Venice Giving Circle. Get behind the scenes and help bring our new production to life.

By becoming part of the Maiden of Venice Giving Circle you can be involved in the creative process from early development right up until opening night, gaining a unique insight into the work that goes into creating a ballet of this scale. You’ll enjoy exclusive benefits, whilst making a real impact on our work.

This is an ambitious production. Bringing a taste of Piazza San Marco and Venetian gondolas to the stage will cost c.£2 million, and you can support our fundraising by joining this exclusive Giving Circle.

Join us in Renaissance Venice for The Maiden Of Venice - a sumptuous reimagining of the 19th-century classic La Bayadère from Carlos Acosta. 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.
