Scottish Ballet on Tour in Greenock and Dunfermline

A rare chance to see Scottish Ballet at the Beacon Arts Centre in Greenock and Alhambra Theatre Dunfermline, as Scottish Ballet presents four short captivating performances from some of today’s most exciting choreographers.

Preparations are well underway for our upcoming autumn performances, which will see the company perform in venues in Greenock and Dunfermline in a one-of-a-kind Scottish Ballet showcase.

We’re presenting three short works by acclaimed choreographers, as well as the grand pas de deux from The Nutcracker, a soaring highlight of the beloved ballet.

Cayetano Soto’s Schachmatt (Checkmate) is inspired by Joan Rivers, Pedro Almodóvar, and Bob Fosse. Dancers captivate with razor-sharp wit on a giant chessboard—expect to be wowed and amused.

Sophie Laplane’s Dextera brings her quirky style to Mozart’s music, celebrating the hands of creators and their hard work. A new work titled Echo Echo from Madeline Squire will also have its debut at these performances.

Entertaining, intriguing and stylish, this is the perfect sampler of Scottish Ballet’s award-winning performances.
