Cunard and English National Ballet (ENB) have been in partnership since 2019, presenting together the special Dance the Atlantic Event Voyage which will return to Queen Mary 2 in August 2025.
On land, we are proud to have been Production Sponsors of a number of ENB’S critically acclaimed shows and most recently Johan Inger’s Carmen which opened to rave reviews on Wednesday 27 March until Saturday 6 April 2024, to a packed house at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London.
With its fiery drama and iconic music, Carmen never ceases to thrill, and in this reimagined version, choreographer Johan Inger took audiences deep into the passions and dark undercurrents of the original story – imbuing the enduring tale with new resonance.
