F. Scott Fitzgerald’s modern classic takes you back to the roaring 20s with flapper girls, glitz and Golden Age glamour

Northern Ballet’s sensational, sell-out production of The Great Gatsby returns to London’s Sadler’s Wells.

Get ready for the most glamorous party in town as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel is brought to life as dancers glide across the floor in gorgeous Chanel-inspired costumes, to a cinematic score by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett CBE (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Murder on the Orient Express).

David Nixon’s sumptuous production for Northern Ballet returns to Sadler’s Wells following their hugely popular performances of Casanova.

Bursting with passion, style and drama, don’t miss this blockbuster ballet.

The Great Gatsby plays at Sadler’s Wells in London from 16 to 20 May 2023.

Mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby has a penchant for lavish parties and beautiful women. As the sparkling façade of his world begins to slip, the loneliness, obsession and tragedy that lies beneath is revealed in one of Northern Ballet’s most treasured productions.
