London City Ballet show «Momentum»

One of the great names of British ballet will return to the stage with a programme that brings together tradition, new choreographies and some of the most prominent figures in international dance.

About this event

London City Ballet will present the show Momentum on 24 and 25 July in the central courtyard of Conde Duque, as part of the Veranos de la Villa festival programme. The company, which resumed its activity under the artistic direction of Christopher Marney, arrives in Madrid with a programme bringing together works by renowned British and contemporary choreographers.

The evening will include four pieces by Ashley Page, Kenneth MacMillan, Tasha Chu and Alexei Ratmansky, performed by the company’s ensemble and featuring dancer Alina Cojocaru as a guest artist.

Founded in the 1970s and linked for decades to Sadler’s Wells theatre, London City Ballet recently began a new chapter that has already taken it on tour across Europe, Asia and the United States. Its return seeks to combine the legacy of British ballet with a contemporary perspective, reviving the spirit of one of the United Kingdom’s most emblematic companies.
