Two kingdoms at war. A pair of star-crossed lovers. One boy with a whole lot of magic.
Discover how the world’s most famous sorcerer mastered his powers in the epic adventure you’ve been waiting for.
The man, the myth and the legend are brought to life through spectacular sets and costumes, mind-boggling special effects and Northern Ballet’s signature blend of world-class dance and storytelling.
And if that’s not enough, there’s a dragon too.
Choreographed by Olivier Award-winning Drew McOnie (Broadway’s King Kong and Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom), leave your expectations at the door as you are swept into Merlin’s world where love blooms, power battles are fought and good will strive to conquer evil.
Please note this production is performed to recorded music.
