Get ready for Gentleman Jack. 🎩 😏 In 2026 we’re bringing you a new ballet based on the trailblazing Yorkshire icon - Anne Lister ✍️ Anne is a fascinating historical figure who refused to live as 19th century society expected her to. She lived, dressed and loved as she desired. Her story has inspired biographies, novels and a hit BBC/HBO series and now we’re telling her intriguing life through ballet with choreography by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa music by Claire Cowan, played live. Gentleman Jack is a co-production with Finnish National Ballet. https://lnkd.in/gFk4mKzr
