Hide AdDeborah Rees, Director of Cast, said: “It’s brilliant that we’ve been able to get audiences back to Cast in a safe and spectacular way.
“By subsidizing the cost of tickets, making them free to the public, Music of the Spheres allowed us the opportunity to say thank you to the people of the borough for supporting us throughout lockdown, as we look to reopen fully in the coming months.”
Guests sat in socially distanced groups across the square whilst enjoying the artistic event.
Each performance started with dancers and musicians within land-based spheres moving around the audience - a perfect way for a performance to be socially distanced as well as a visual treat.

The grand finale, composed and played by Simon Desorgher on the flute, was a giant sphere the size of a four storey building, with aerial dancer Claire Crook inside, spinning and spiralling on silks suspended from the centre.
Cast is currently open for a season of socially distanced events, before reopening at full capacity on August 1.
