Angels and Exiles was choreographed for the opening season at the Clore Studio of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and performed from 19-24 September 2000. It was set to Redemption by Cesar Franck with a text by Edouard Blau. The production featured a sculpture of discarded ballet shoes created by Sophia Clist and was lit by Charles Balfour.
