Last month I had the opportunity to photograph Ballet Ireland’s dress rehearsal for their production of The Nutcracker in The Gaiety Theatre, Dublin.
To get a different perspective I wanted to photograph a behind the scenes / from the side-line view of the performance. Here are a few photos from the first half and the interval period.
I would like to thank Anne Maher, Director of Ballet Ireland and Jeanette Keane, General Manager of Ballet Ireland for their help and support with this.
