The Three Musketeers

Kings, Queens, adventure, friendship, romance, intrigue and heroes…

En garde! Cardinal Richelieu is plotting against Queen Anne. Musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis, together with the spirited D'Artagnan have vowed to protect France at all costs. Meanwhile the young D'Artagnan is falling madly in love with the Queen's Lady in Waiting, Constance.

David Nixon's ballet, The Three Musketeers is a great combination of action packed sword fights, comedy, fun and some beautiful romantic duets – between the Queen and her secret lover, the Duke of Buckingham and D'Artagnan and Constance.

Set to a sweeping score of music by the late British composer Sir Malcolm Arnold, Northern Ballet Theatre's swashbuckling production brings together stunning sets, amazing costumes, thrilling sword fights and traditional ballet in an evening that the whole family can enjoy.

All for one and one for all!
