Ballet Theatre UK return to Dorchester with Aladdin – an exotic tale brought to life through classical ballet

Following their enchanting production of Swan Lake, Ballet Theatre UK return with Aladdin - a dazzling re-telling of an exotic tale boldly brought to life through the magic of classical ballet on Thursday 28 May at Dorchester Corn Exchange.

Follow the tale of the lonely orphan whose life is destined for greater things. Tricked by an evil sorcerer, Aladdin sets out on a quest in search for the ultimate treasure. Deceived, Aladdin is left alone in a dark and damp cave to where he will uncover a life-changing object…a dusty old lamp.

With just one rub of the magical lamp, Aladdin’s journey will sweep you into an exotic world full of daring adventure, enchanting spells, unbelievable riches, treachery and of course true love.
