Marston: Victoria (Northern Ballet)

Passion, tragedy, fierce devotion. Queen Victoria’s diaries revealed a life so fascinating that her daughter Beatrice tried to rewrite history. Her irrepressible love for Albert sparked a royal dynasty. But his untimely death brought the world’s most powerful woman to her knees with grief.

Northern Ballet’s new biopic, choreographed by Cathy Marston, “one of Britain’s most interesting choreographers” (Evening Standard), brings the sensational story of Victoria to life in dance.
