Choreographed by Northern Ballet’s artistic director David Nixon OBE, this creation charts Cleopatra’s sensational rise to power, her scandalous romances with the most powerful men in history and her eventual downfall.

A score by celebrated Golden Globe and Academy Award nominated composer Claude-Michel Schönberg (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon) is played live by Northern Ballet Sinfonia.
