Star-crossed lovers Romeo & Juliet, her standing en pointe and him kneeling in front of her, both wearing white against a fantasy blue and yellow background.

Our Appeal

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene...

Our scene is Leeds, Boxing Day 2015, when a catastrophe struck Northern Ballet. A devastating river flood, damaging £2 million pounds worth of sets and costumes.

A true cornerstone in the history of the Company, Northern Ballet’s beloved 1991 production of Romeo & Juliet, directed by Christopher Gable CBE and choreographed by Massimo Moricone, suffered devastating damage in the flood.

'I have been waiting for the day when you bring it back'

Northern Ballet audience member.

Our supporters have donated over £53,000 to our Rekindle the Romance appeal. Each and every donation has helped us lovingly restore and recreate so much of this wonderful production, ensuring that we can perform Prokofiev’s timeless music with a live orchestra throughout Spring 2024.

Thank you to everyone who donated. We did it! We brought our star-crossed lovers back to life!
