The Great Gatsby Ballet
Story ballets are bread and butter of tNorthern Ballet's repertory, and it's easy to see why choreographer David Nixon was tempted by The Great Gatsby. The clothes, the Jazz, dance music, the fatal love affair-much of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel seems tailor-made for ballet. As a fiction, however, Gatsby works through a subtle balance of irony, concealment and point of view. It's all in the language, but language, of course, is difficult to choreograph.
The Great Gatsby, choreographed by David Nixon OBE, is adapted from the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. On New York's Island, in the heady, indulgent days of the 1920's, Nick Carraway comes to know his infamous neighbor Jay Gatsby.

This is the link of the Northern Ballet and it's amazing
