DANCERS from Scottish Ballet reached new heights as they prepare to tour the country with their production of Cinderella over the festive season.
Principal dancers Bethany Kingsley-Garner, who plays Cinderella, and her Prince Charming Christopher Harrison danced on the roof of the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh as the clock prepared to strike midnight.
Originally devised by Scottish Ballet artistic director Christopher Hampson for Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2007, Scottish Ballet staged the European premiere in 2015 and return with it this year.
It will open on December 8 at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh before touring to the Theatre Royal in Glasgow, His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen, Eden Court in Inverness and Theatre Royal in Newcastle, closing on February 2.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
