NORTHERN Ballet is bringing Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale to life this autumn as it tours The Little Mermaid to theatres across the UK, performing in Southampton from October 20 to 22.

Telling the story of a young mermaid who is willing to give up everything she knows in the search for love, the ballet premiered at Mayflower Theatre to critical acclaim in 2017 and has become a favourite amongst audiences.

The ballet will immerse audiences in the mystical underwater world of Andersen’s famous fable.

David Nixon CBE, Director, Choreographer and Costume Designer said: "The Little Mermaid is an enchanting and relevant story. The fantastical underwater world of the mermaids evokes beautiful imagery that lends itself so well to ballet.

"It has become one of the Company’s most beloved productions and I’m delighted Northern Ballet is bringing it back to the stage this autumn."
