THE world premiere of a new production from the Northern Ballet will be held on the south coast.
The Little Mermaid will be at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton from September 21 to 23.
Based on the famous fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid tells the story of a young mermaid who is willing to give up everything she knows in a search for love and the desire to gain a human soul.
avid Nixon OBE, Artistic Director at Northern Ballet, said: "The Little Mermaid is an enchanting story and the fantastical underwater world of the mermaids evokes such beautiful imagery that it will be an excellent addition to our repertoire.
"So many people have grown up with an awareness of this classic tale and so I am looking forward to introducing audiences to the world beyond the waves."
The Little Mermaid will be choreographed by Northern Ballet’s Artistic Director David Nixon OBE whose most recent creations for the Company include Cinderella, The Great Gatsby and Beauty & the Beast. This new production will première in Southampton from 21 – 23 September 2017 before a UK Tour.
Tickets go on sale from November 30.
