Northern Ballet - Gentleman Jack

Name: Northern Ballet - Gentleman Jack
Start: 2026-09-03
End: 2026-09-05
Location: The Alhambra Theatre

Masters of storytelling Northern Ballet bring to the stage the extraordinary story of Anne Lister – better known as Gentleman Jack.

A powerful Yorkshire woman, it was only after her death when her secret diaries were decoded that a truly exceptional life was uncovered. Anne lived, dressed and loved as she desired, not as 19th century society expected her to. With her words dancing across the page, she vividly chronicled her adventures, heartbreaks and triumphs.

Inspiring biographies, novels, a hit TV series and now a ballet, this thrilling production choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa is performed to new live music by Claire Cowan.

A co-production with Finnish National Ballet

Choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
Composer Claire Cowan
Dramaturg Clare Croft
Lighting and Set Designer Christopher Ash
Costume Designer Louise Flanagan
Creative Consultant Sally Wainwright
