Scottish Ballet’s stylish production breathes new life into the classic tale, with graceful waltzes at the DuBois family home, electrifying lindy jives in a Louisiana nightclub, and intense duets in the caged heat of Stella and Stanley’s apartment.ĭirected by Nancy Meckler and choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, with set and costume designs by Nicola Turner, and score by Peter Salem ( The Crucible) performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra (mainland performances only). Stella’s brutish husband Stanley sees that Blanche is not what she appears to be, and sets out to destroy her. In steamy 1940s New Orleans, fading Southern belle Blanche DuBois moves into her sister Stella’s apartment. Scottish Ballet’s hugely popular, award-winning production of A Streetcar Named Desire returns to Scotland for the first time since 2015, touring to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness, and thanks to generous support from the Bently Foundation, to the Orkney Islands and Outer Hebrides. This astonishing take on Tennessee Williams’ famous play is narrative ballet at its very best, with stunning dance, devastating drama, pitch-perfect period design and a sizzling score used to tell the iconic story.
