Passion, tragedy, fierce devotion. Queen Victoria’s diaries revealed a life so fascinating that her daughter Beatrice tried to rewrite history.

Her irrepressible love for Albert sparked a royal dynasty. But his untimely death brought the world's most powerful woman to her knees with grief.

Northern Ballet's new biopic brings the sensational story of Victoria to life in dance.

Choreographed by Cathy Marston, creator of Northern Ballet’s acclaimed Jane Eyre.
