A beloved fairytale and Academy Award-winning movie, The Red Shoes
, has seduced audiences and inspired generations of dancers with its

composer, Bernard Herrmann (most famous for his collaborations with
Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles) and played live by the New Adventures
Orchestra, with sumptuous set and costume designs by Lez Brotherston,
Paule Constable (lighting) and Paul Groothuis (sound).
