London City Ballet are back at Sadler's Wells Theatre.
After a hiatus of 30 years, London City Ballet has returned for a UK & international tour, including a stop at Sadler’s Wells in September, under new Artistic Director Christopher Marney.
London City Ballet will present Resurgence, a programme of acclaimed works including the revival of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1972 one-act ballet Ballade, unseen in Europe for over 50 years.
