About Geisha
Northern Ballet’s new production for 2020 is Geisha, a ballet by Kenneth Tindall with music by Alexandra Harwood.

For geisha, beauty and honour is everything.

Two young women, bound by vows of friendship, find themselves in the midst of a collision between East and West. As their lives are torn painfully apart, a promise from beyond the grave offers the only chance for redemption.

Brought vividly to life by the creator of Northern Ballet’s Casanova and based on remarkable true events, unravel the mysteries of Geisha.
