Scottish Ballet has announced its plans for 2015/16.
The company will present three world premieres, a European premiere and a Scottish Ballet premiere during its next season.
In the coming months, Scottish Ballet will tour extensively across the UK, and also travel to China and Japan. There are also plans for a return to the US where the company will undertake a four-week, six-city tour culminating in a debut at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington DC.
The award-winning A Streetcar Named Desire will play Inverness, Edinburgh and London before going to Chicago, San Antonio, Houston, Charleston, Pittsburgh and Washington DC. The company has also commissioned international choreographer David Dawson to create a new Swan Lake.
Scottish Ballet's Artistic Director, Christopher Hampson, said: "David always looks to push the boundaries of classical ballet, and I know that his production of an iconic story will be a thoughtful, fresh and very bold addition to our repertoire."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
