Birmingham Royal Ballet
Swan Lake
★★★★☆ Classically beautiful
Birmingham Royal Ballet’s traditional Swan Lake spellbinds its audience with Tchaikovsky’s iconic and emotive score performed live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, just as Odile spellbinds Prince Siegfried.
Beauty and the Beast
★★★★☆ Haunting:
Birmingham Royal Ballet put on a truly magical and haunting performance of David Bintley’s Beauty and the Beast, playing the Festival Theatre until Saturday.
Coppelia
✭✭✭✩✩ Playful and quirky:
There is much to delight and entertain in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of Coppelia, playing at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. Yet, it lacks convincing depth and structure to fully deliver its potential.
