Art enriches, enlivens and inspires. At a time when the challenges of the everyday are keeping so many of us apart, we need art more than ever. With theatres closed and audiences unable to gather for much of this year, we wanted to find a way to share the creativity of the stage, so that art could still live and moments which have lifted spirits for generations, could still be shared.

Bringing people together and offering them a chance to share in new experiences at this time is crucial and that’s why we at NatWest are delighted to be the English National Ballet’s first ever Principal Partner. Our aim is to work together to take ballet to a wider and more diverse audience and take its craft to new communities so that everyone can experience the joy of dance through ground-breaking performances.

Great art should be available to all because it allows us to not just understand ourselves but to understand each other. It can benefit everyone and helps build a more inclusive society, something NatWest is determined to champion.

I sincerely hope you enjoy tonight’s performance.

Martyn Wilson Head of Sponsorship & Hospitality NatWest Group

Fittingly for our 70th anniversary year, it is, in some ways, a return to our beginnings: the Company’s first official performance in August 1950 at the Kings Theatre in Southsea concluded with a performance of Nutcracker’s final act – the Kingdom of Sweets! Our star and founder was known for her portrayal of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Along with co-Founder , and with Grace Cone and Nicholas Beriozoff, she then created a new, complete staging of Nutcracker ‘after ’, which premiered in London in October of that year.

English National Ballet’s subsequent Nutcrackers were choreographed by David Lichine (1957); Jack Carter with André Howard, Vassilie Trunoff and others (1965); (1976); Peter Schaufuss (1986); (1991); (1997); and Christopher Hampson (2002).
