Being Cleopatra: Martha Leebolt


Cleopatra is definitely making a comback this year. First a book, then talk of a movie starring Angelina Jolie, and now a ballet! The world premiere of the ballet Cleopatra will take place at the Leeds Grand Theatre on Febuary 26, 2011 starring Martha Leebolt as the title role and Tobias Bately as Anthony. Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and choreography by David Nixon OBE.

In a world ruled by men, this courageous and compulsive woman overturned convention and changed the course of history. Cleopatra’s legacy has inspired generations. Now, composer Claude-Michel Schönberg (Miss Saigon, Les Miserables) and Northern Ballet Artistic Director David Nixon OBE, bring her astounding story to the stage in this must-see ballet for 2011. As Cleopatra’s star rises once more, book now for Northern Ballet’s unique retelling of this remarkable woman’s story.
