Choreography: George Balanchine
Music: Igor Stravinsky
Workwithinwork
Choreography: William Forsythe
Music: Luciano Berio
In Light and Shadow
Choreography: Krzysztof Pastor
Music: Johann Sebastian Bach
Scottish Ballet celebrates its 40th anniversary with a sparkling Autumn Season which places George Balanchine's Rubies firmly back in the company's crown, alongside Krzysztof Pastor's In Light and Shadow and a new addition to the repertoire with William Forsythe's Workwithinwork.
Crisp and witty, Rubies is one of Balanchine's most delectable creations. At once glamorous and exciting, the dancers are adorned in dazzling bejewelled costumes and perform energetic choreography to the angular, jazz-tinged music of Igor Stravinsky.
Choreographed by William Forsythe, Workwithinwork is a new addition to Scottish Ballet's repertoire. Performed to the beautiful slow-building arch of Berio's Duetti for two violins, the choreography starts graceful and winding, before branching out in ever-increasing complexity.
Making its much anticipated return to the stage is Krzysztof Pastor's celebrated In Light and Shadow. Beginning with a delicate, reflective duet to the Aria from Bach's Goldberg Variations, the piece twists and turns into a rich tapestry of explosive solos, duets and ensemble work set to Bach's Third Orchestral Suite.

'This is still such stuff as dreams are made on.' The Daily Mail
At a party in the Stahlbaum's family home. Drosselmeyer, the children's enigmatic godfather, presents them with a nutcracker doll – and so begins a dreamlike journey of discovery for the youngest daughter, Marie.
'A Nutcracker like no other … full of mettle and class' The Herald
The first in Ashley Page's trilogy of fairytales retold with a fresh and wicked vision for contemporary audiences, Scottish Ballet's The Nutcracker transports audiences into the magical world of ETA Hoffman by way of Weimar Germany, conjuring up a dreamlike surrealist narrative to chart the magical journey of a young girl's awakening.
