Sadler’s Wells theatre in London have confirmed that a ballet production with music by Pet Shop Boys is planned for production in 2011. The choreographer is Javier de Frutos and writer/director Matthew Dunster is working on the scenario. Ivan Putrov, a principal dancer at the Royal Ballet, will dance a lead role in it. The ballet is based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen (suggested by Pet Shop Boys), and Neil and Chris have so far written about one-third of the score. A workshop of two scenes was sponsored by Sadler’s Wells last December (see photograph).
Pet Shop Boys and Andrew Hodges’ listening and conversation event for “A man from the future” at the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester is now sold out. The conversation will also be filmed and made available to watch online shortly afterwards, with further details to be revealed here in due course.
