Chantry Dance Company

Chantry Dance Company celebrates Oscar Wilde’s 160th Anniversary with a stunning new modern ballet production of his poignant short story of The Happy Prince.

Step into Wilde’s world and meet the charismatic but sorrowful Prince, who grieves for the lives of the poor people in his kingdom. Help arrives in the form of a swallow, and together they carry hope and good fortune out to the people.

The ballet is set to Glazunov’s The Seasons, which perfectly complements the narrative. Also in the programme is a duet set to Gershwin’s popular Rhapsody in Blue and a firm ensemble ballet favourite from CDC’s repertoire, All I Can Do Is Be Me, set to the raw and evocative songs of Bob Dylan.

CDC delighted audiences throughout the UK last year with their outstanding dancing, and their entertaining and witty performances.
