Pet Shop Boys are working on a ballet which will be unveiled in London in 2011, the pop act have revealed.
Neil Tennant revealed news of the project this week, just days after the duo were awarding the Outstanding Contribution award at The BRITS.
The currently untitled production will feature "electronics and strings" and has been inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen tale.
"It's quite a big project. There's a lot of music to write but we've written half an hour of it and we've done a bit of a workshop with them", Tennant told the BBC.
"It's got a story, it's like a Tchaikovsky ballet in that it's based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen but we've got the choreographer sorted out now.
"We're going to be working on that across the year but we're touring so we probably won't get it really finished until the end of next year", he explained.
As previously reported, Pet Shop Boys play a pair of live shows in Manchester and London this summer.
