English National Ballet returns to the Arts Centre with popular children's ballet, Angelina's Star Performance

The acclaimed English National Ballet will return to Melbourne in January 2009 with a ballet for children three years and older.

Angelina's Star Performance is based upon author Katharine Holabird's and illustrator Helen Craig's successful and timeless book, Angelina at the Palace. It features the much-loved feisty mouse, Angelina Ballerina.

Angelina Ballerina is a little star with big dreams of becoming a prima ballerina. This little mouse works hard to reach her goal and along the way, always learns from her mistakes. The ballet follows Angelina as she prepares to stage her own performance of The Sleeping Beauty, at the request of the Queen. Angelina is joined in this new ballet by her best friend Alice and Princess Valentine. Angelina's dancing teacher Miss Lilly, Sammy, William and friends all help out to make the performance the best ever, while Phoebe and Henry cause havoc with their mischievous antics!

With a cast of eight English National Ballet dancers performing to a recorded arrangement of Tchaikovsky's music, Angelina's Star Performance offers a unique opportunity for boys and girls aged 3+ years to experience their first live ballet.

English National Ballet is one of the world's great ballet companies. The original 1950s vision for the Company - to take a classical ballet of the highest quality to the widest geographical audience, at a price everyone can afford - remains the cornerstone of the Company's philosophy today.

They employ the best of British and international talent, choreographers, dancers, designers, musicians, rehearsal staff, technicians and administrators schedule at home and abroad. They employ the best of British and international talent, choreographers, dancers, designers, musicians, rehearsal staff, technicians and administrators - all working as an ensemble to create productions that tour brilliantly and are accessible and exciting to audiences.
