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 tuly 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 pages, she vividly chronicled her adventures, heartbreaks and triumphs with striking honesty and wit.

Inspiring biographies, novels, a hit TV series and now a ballet, Anne’s story leaps from page to stage in this thrilling new production choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and performed to new live music by Peter Salem.

Gentleman Jack is a co-production with Finnish National Opera and Ballet.
