Scottish Ballet will celebrate its 50th anniversary as Scotland’s national ballet company next year, having gained international recognition over the decades for its pioneering productions and technical excellence. Hansel & Gretel is a great example, as exquisite choreography by artistic director Christopher Hampson transfers this favourite children’s fable to the world of classical ballet. An atmospheric score by composer Engelbert Humperdinck, from the 1893 opera based on the same story, wonderfully adds to the proceedings, with ingenious sets, backdrops and costumes completing the magical line-up. Eerie and exciting, humorous and highly inventive, Scottish Ballet’s scintillating show is a treat for the whole family.
