We'll tell you as soon as tickets go on sale:

Sadler’s Wells is also delighted to announce full details of the first public performances staged at the theatre since March 2020. These events mark the first time that Sadler’s Wells has welcomed professional artists and audiences in a live capacity since lockdown, with the performances, working practices and visitor experience created in accordance with social distancing and Covid-19 safety measures.  

As previously announced by Birmingham Royal Ballet, the company will bring its brand-new mixed bill, Lazuli Sky, to Sadler’s Wells for four performances from Thursday 29 October – Saturday 31 October. The Sadler’s Wells dates follow sold-out world-premiere performances at Birmingham Repertory Theatre from Thursday 22 October – Saturday 24 October. Tickets for Lazuli Sky at Sadler’s Wells are now available, with priority booking for members open from today and general tickets available by public sale from Monday 14 September.  

Lazuli Sky includes choreographer Will Tuckett’s new ballet of the same name set to John Adam’s Shaker Loops; alongside Valery Panov’s Liebestod, a powerful, visceral solo for the company’s male principals with music from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde; and Our Waltzes by Venezuelan choreographer Vicente Nebrada, danced to a collection of Latin-infused waltzes which celebrate love, romance and passion. All music will be performed live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia. 

Lazuli Sky is the first one-act ballet to be commissioned and presented by Carlos Acosta as Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, a role which he started in January 2020 shortly before the COVID-19 crisis hit. At the beginning of lockdown, Carlos turned to British choreographer Will Tuckett and asked him to create a new work for Birmingham Royal Ballet that is inspired by, and utilises, ‘social distancing’, in response to the evolving way in which dance and live performance can once again be staged.
