Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity Announces Mara Galezazzi Charity Gala

LONDON, March 29, 2011 - Great Ormond Street Hospital has announced it will be holding another
Charity Gala as part of its Theatres for Theatres Appeal.

February 2011 saw Great Ormond Street Hospital (www.gosh.nhs.uk/)
holding the Andrew Lloyd Webber Wizard of Oz Charity Gala, and April 2011
will see the Royal Ballet Principal's Mara Galezzi's Charity Gala.

For one night only, Mara Galezazzi, one of the world's leading ballet
dancers, will be hosting and performing at a very special evening of dance,
song and music. The event will be presented by Nicky Henson (who played Jack
Edwards on the soap Eastenders') and Mara will be joined by a prestigious
line up including Principals of the Royal Ballet, the Balletboyz, Les Ballets
Trockadero de Monte Carlo, 4 Poofs and a Piano and other special guests.

Whether the audience are fans of classical ballet or tap and contemporary
dance, there should be a little something for everyone, with world premieres
from new and established choreographers and virtuoso music and song.

All the money raised from the Mara Galeazzi Charity Gala will be split
between both Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity (
www.gosh.org/) and Dancing for the Children, a charity that Mara
founded which helps underprivileged children in Africa. Part of the Theatres
for Theatres appeal money raised will help fund state-of-the-art operating
theatres for young patients requiring specialist brain surgery.

This special evening will be taking place at Sadler's Wells Theatre on
Sunday 3 April 2011 and it promises to be a celebration of the power dance
and entertainment has to change lives.
