Brought to life by the Fallen Angels Dance Theatre (FADT) and the New Note Orchestra, this collaboration takes centre stage next week in two iconic venues: Chester’s Storyhouse and the Royal Opera House in London.

Deeper into the Insights Session

Taking place on Sunday 5 November from 12.30-2pm at the LINBURY THEATRE, Royal Opera House, ROH Insights: Traces through Time, is an ode to recovery. Dive deep with the award-winning Fallen Angels Dance Theatre and New Note Orchestra and see first hand how people from all walks of life are using dance and music in their recovery from addiction.

This venture, Traces Through Time celebrates the collaboration between FADT and the New Note Orchestra.
