Cleopatra

In a world ruled by men, this courageous and compulsive woman overturned convention and changed the course of history.

Cleopatra's legacy has inspired generations. Now, composer Claude-Michel Schönberg (Miss Saigon, Les Misérables) and Northern Ballet Artistic Director David Nixon OBE, bring her astounding story to the stage in this must-see ballet for 2011.

As Cleopatra's star rises once more, book now for Northern Ballet's unique retelling of this remarkable woman's story.
