One of Scotland’s most famous figures, Mary, Queen of Scots, is told through the eyes of Queen Elizabeth I. Blending history with legend, this new production from Scottish Ballet delves into the stories— the true and the fictional —that surround Mary’s life and legacy. A conceptual, spectacular set. Striking period-inspired costumes. Original music from Mikael Karlsson & Michael P Atkinson, the team behind the reimagined score for Scottish Ballet’s 2022 International Festival performance Coppélia. The casting for Mary, Queen of Scots will be fluid and intergenerational, with various members of the company playing the part of Elizabeth I.

Scottish Ballet tells the story of one of Scotland’s most famous figures - Mary, Queen of Scots, through the eyes of Queen Elizabeth I of England. In my end is my beginning. Scottish Ballet tells the story of one of Scotland’s most famous figures – Mary, Queen of Scots. Through the eyes of Queen Elizabeth I of England we explore their transforming relationship. We follow Elizabeth and her perceived and imagined relationship with Mary. Blending history with legend, this world premiere centres the stories— the true and the fictional —that surround Mary’s life and legacy. Guest artist Charlotta Öfverholm, as the older Elizabeth, brings her rich storytelling expertise to the company’s dancers. An iconic story, unconventionally told, adding to the canon of rich, contemporary repertoire which is uniquely Scottish Ballet. Scottish Ballet
