Authentic Italian drinks and nibbles welcomed the guests before our director, Carlos Acosta, and designer, Anna Fleischle, spoke about their plans for the show and their progress so far. Carlos and Anna shared exclusive insights into the ballet's creation, including choreography and costume ideas, the mood board for the ballet, and Anna's white card model representing her early set designs. The pair also highlighted the significance of this new ballet in the legacy and future of our art form, with The Maiden of Venice being a powerful reimagination of the 19th-century classic La Bayadère.
