The Performance
This summer’s performance features principal dancers and soloists from some of the world’s most renowned ballet companies — artists typically seen only on the grandest international stages. On stage, they will be accompanied live by internationally acclaimed opera singers and classical musicians.
The programme presents an exquisite mix of highlights from beloved classics such as The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, and Manon, along with newly choreographed works created exclusively for the World Ballet.
Tenor and master of ceremonies Jens-Christian Wandt sets the artistic tone for the evening. With engaging anecdotes and introductions to the repertoire, he brings it all together into a cohesive and enchanting experience of the highest caliber.
In this unique collaboration between nature, weather, and world-class art — with the outdoors as our stage — we create a truly unforgettable ballet experience, shaped by the soul and character of this extraordinary setting.

At the audience’s request, it is now—just as in any other theater setting—NOT allowed to take photographs during the performance.
There is free parking and additional parking for the performance. You should expect a 10-15 minute walk from the parking lot to Great Northern, so we recommend that you arrive in good time.
