Dateline: 3rd May, 2007
Prima ballerina Darcey Bussell, principal dancer with the Royal Ballet until June this year when she retires after two decades with the company, and Welsh mezzo soprano and opera superstar Katherine Jenkins are to combine their talents in a new touring show, Viva la Diva, which will see both of them working in new territory. "Ballet has been my focus for 28 years," said Bussell.." Now I am stepping into a variety of different styles of dance that I have always had a passion to perform. Katherine's voice has an exceptional quality and I'm very much looking forward to combining our very different talents." And she told The Sunday Times, "I have always wanted to try a different style, but more as an entertainer. I love the old Hollywood movies." And Jenkins commented, "I've admired Darcey since I was young; her movement and style are second to none and I'm thrilled to be working with her. We're both excited to be learning so much about each other's genres and I'm looking forward to working with Darcey on all creative aspects of the show." Kim Gavin, who choreographed the Take That Reunion Tour and Oh What a Night, will be part of the creative team for the show which is produced by SJM Concerts, Bandana Management and The TCB Group. The tour opens at The Lowry, Salford (25th and 26th November) and then goes on to the Brighton Centre (29th), Cardiff Arena (1st December), Bristol Colston Hall (5th December), Bournemouth IC (7th Dec), Hammersmith Apollo (11th and 12th Dec), Birmingham Symphony Hall (16th and 17th Dec), Nottingham Royal Centre (20th Dec) and Glasgow SECC (21st Dec). Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
