SUMMARY:Ballet Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Ballet Under the Stars at Hatch House\, 24th-26th July 2026\nCovent Garden Dance celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026\, marking two decades of presenting world-class ballet and dance in some of the most distinctive settings in the UK and internationally. \nEvery summer\, set within the enchanting 17th-century walled Dutch garden at Hatch House\, Ballet Under the Stars takes place. The garden setting is transformed into a fully covered dinner theatre. The performances unfold beneath a canopy of flora where ballet\, live music and fine dining combine to create an atmosphere that feels closer to a continental arts festival than a conventional gala. The audiences will enjoy a programme of twelve short works — spanning classical\, neo-classical and contemporary repertoire — interwoven with a three-course dinner. \nThis year’s performances welcome a truly star-studded international cast in celebration of the company’s 20-year anniversary. Audiences will experience exceptional artistry from Myriam Ould-Braham and Mickaël Lafon of the Paris Opera Ballet\, alongside Joy Womack and Xander Parish representing the Mariinsky Ballet. They are joined by leading artists from the English National Ballet\, including Taela Rose Graff and Zai Calliste\, among many others\, creating an extraordinary evening that brings together some of the finest talent on the international stage.\nTwenty years on\, Covent Garden Dance continues to prove that ballet can thrive far beyond the traditional opera house or theatre and that some of the most memorable performances happen not beneath chandeliers\, but under the summer stars. \nTickets from £185 \nTo book:\nE: production@coventgardendance.com\nT: 01749 813313\nwww.coventgardendance.com
