It was the group’s 14th annual lunchtime show in the stunning surroundings on Friday afternoon (August 17).
‘Spiritus’ reflected on sculptures in the cathedral and elsewhere, set to Puccini’s meditative string quartet movement ‘Crisantemi’.
Mayor of Ely, Councillor Mike Rouse, was also present.
He said: “Wonderful lunchtime performance today in the Lady Chapel by Helen Pettit’s Lantern Dance Theatre Company. It was ‘full of grace and truth’ and a privilege to be there. Thank you again.”
