See the hatching of the Ugly Duckling

Don’t miss Northern Ballet’s hugely popular Ugly Duckling as it returns to Buxton Opera House stage.

On bright sunny day four little ducklings hatch, one looks very different to the others; grey, fluffy and ragged and she doesn’t even dance the same as the other ducklings!

Ugly Duckling is lonely and fed-up, ignored by those around her who think she is too ugly to fit in. She tries to make friends with fellow ducklings as well as with frogs, cats and even a fox, but realising she is not like any of these animals, she is left sad and alone. Follow the duckling on her journey as she overcomes her troubles and realises that she was beautiful all along.

Featured on CBeebies, the Northern Ballet’s retelling of the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairytale Ugly Duckling is the perfect opportunity for little ones to enjoy live ballet, music and theatre for the first time.
