Spin A Tale – part of Darley Abbey Day Saturday 8th May 2021 

The premiere of “Spin A Tale” took place on Saturday 8th May 2021 in support of the Darley Abbey Day celebrations Past, Present & Future.

During the live online event, Constella OperaBallet took viewers on a virtual journey of enchanting performances, spinning tales through music, dance, song, theatre and design to explore and celebrate Darley Abbey’s place in history and the wider Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

In partnership with Darley Abbey Day 2021 and Darley Abbey Community Association, internationally renowned artists Constella OperaBallet have created an exciting series of short films featuring singers, dancers and choirs from Derbyshire including Déda Youth Company, dancers from Derby University and individual voices from across the county and beyond. This was the final in a series of major arts commissions for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site Great Place Scheme.
