International Wig Day

As it’s International Wig Day, we thought we’d share an insight into the beautiful wigs featured in Northern Ballet’s Casanova, with us at Leeds Grand Theatre until Saturday 19 March.

Written by Ellen Carnazza.

Wigs Manager Harriet Rogers is in charge of all things wigs at Northern Ballet, including making sure they look perfect for performances. Simon Lee captured these shots of her in action behind the scenes of Casanova.
