Critics' Choice - Victoria

Northern Ballet’s new biopic, choreographed by Cathy Marston brings the sensational story of Victoria to life in dance.

The Opus Arte Critics’ Choice series is a diverse range of titles, featuring some of the most acclaimed recordings in the label’s catalogue at a very special price. In this series we celebrate many famous classics while also revisiting some of the more innovative, original and perhaps less well-known productions that the label has long been renowned for showcasing. All the new Critics' Choice releases contain the beautifully designed, original artwork and colour booklets which, along with a new unique cover design uniting all the titles, makes them ideal for collectors.

Passion, tragedy, fierce devotion. Queen Victoria’s diaries revealed a life so fascinating that her daughter Beatrice tried to rewrite history. Her irrepressible love for Albert sparked a royal dynasty. But his untimely death brought the world’s most powerful woman to her knees with grief.

Northern Ballet’s new biopic, choreographed by Cathy Marston, “one of Britain’s most interesting choreographers” (Evening Standard), brings the sensational story of Victoria to life in dance.

"Thoughtful, ambitious and vividly danced, it’s another success for a company going from strength to strength" (The Independent ★★★★)

"A ballet to treasure" (The Stage ★★★★)
