After a three year absence, New Theatre Cardiff is looking forward to welcoming Northern Ballet back to Wales with the World Premiere Tour of Casanova.
Following numerous requests from fans, Northern Ballet is to return to CardiffÔÇÖs New Theatre this April with a brand new production about historyÔÇÖs most notorious lover in the new ballet Casanova. Sure to delight fans following a three year absence from Wales, the internationally acclaimed company will transport audiences to 18th century Venice to tell the story of the infamous Italian adventurer in a seductive masquerade of passion and politics, and a true story so sensational you wonÔÇÖt believe itÔÇÖs real.
In Northern BalletÔÇÖs Casanova the fiercely intellectual Giacomo Casanova leads a controversial life consumed by his desires.

Casanova will is choreographed by award-winning Kenneth Tindall who was most recently nominated for Best Classical Choreography and the Emerging Artist Award at the 2015 National Dance Awards.
