EXTRA DATE ADDED – Thu 5 May 7.30pm
After an unparalleled career as one of the world’s foremost ballet stars, Carlos Acosta presents his final classical ballet programme.
From humble beginnings in Cuba to performing on some of the world’s biggest stages, Carlos Acosta has had an incredible career. He has played many of ballet’s most iconic roles including Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake, Basilio in Don Quixote and The Prince in Nutcracker.
He has worked with leading international ballet companies including Ballet National de Cuba, The Royal Ballet, English National Ballet and Houston Ballet, written two novels and appeared in two feature films.
For his final UK tour dancing classical works, he performs excerpts from his favourite ballet repertoire alongside an incredible cast of dancers from Cuba, with Manchester Camerata – a full live orchestra.
