Ballet Nights Will Return To Cadogan Hall, London This Summer

It’s nearly summer and BALLET NIGHTS promises another lineup of ballet, contemporary dance and live music at London’s Cadogan Hall on June 5th.  BALLET NIGHTS 008 follows BN007 at Cadogan Hall at which a capacity crowd of over 900 enjoyed performances by Matthew Ball and Mayara Magri of the Royal Ballet, the dazzling Victor Caixeta, the UK debut of BalletX from Philadelphia, and the exciting UK duo, BlacBrik.  BALLET NIGHTS 008 presents another unique programme featuring ballet superstars Reece Clarke, Anna Rose O’Sullivan, Sangeun Lee, Gareth Haw, Constance Devernay-Laurence, Denys Cherevychko, Eve Mutso plus the UK debut of Bavaria’s Staatstheater Augsburg, a Ballet Nights New Commission from Jordan James Bridge, and live music from Ballet Nights house pianist Viktor Erik Emanual.

“Our second London programme of 2025 marks an historic first for Ballet Nights: the debut of a Christopher Wheeldon staging, originally made for television,” says Jamiel (left photo by GS). “The evening also includes a world premiere, a UK premiere, and the highly anticipated UK debut of Ballet Augsburg alongside rising talents and bold new voices shaping dance today. 

“This will be our third Ballet Nights at Cadogan Hall – and we have more shows in the pipeline!  We make our Romanian debut on May 31st at the incredible Sala Palatului in Bucharest; we are massively looking forward to bringing our unique Ballet Nights programme to Romanian audiences at the former royal palace.  And we are making our Scottish debut in Glasgow on July 4th and in September we’ll be back at Cadogan Hall for two consecutive evenings of autumn Ballet Nights!”
