Scottish Ballet’s Mary, Queen of Scots
Two women. Two crowns. One story. As her death approaches, Elizabeth I of England is haunted by memories – real and imagined – of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots.
by
.
This major new production from Scottish Ballet’s choreographer-in-residence Sophie Laplane and co-creator, James Bonas (The Crucible), draws on the complex relationship between Mary and Elizabeth. Laplane’s bold choreography blends classicism with modernity, reshaping a familiar story with powerful originality. Soutra Gilmour’s striking, contemporary set is complemented by dazzling costumes that capture the grandeur of the era, with nods to haute couture and punk. New music, by the team behind 2022 hit Coppélia, is performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra. Guest artist Charlotta Öfverholm, as the older Elizabeth, brings her rich storytelling expertise to the company’s dancers.
An iconic story, unconventionally told, adding to the canon of rich, contemporary repertoire that is uniquely Scottish Ballet. Ages 12+

This production stars a first-rate cast, including Hye-Youn Lee (La traviata, 2024) as Mimì
