SEASON 2019 - 20
Birmingham Royal Ballet in Giselle.© Emma Kauldhar
BIRMINGHAM ROYAL BALLET
With the departure of long-serving director David Bintley this summer and the arrival of Carlos Acosta in January 2020, Birmingham Royal Ballet is embarking on a new era. The 2019-20 season is representative of the transition period and starts off with David Bintley and Galina Samsova’s production of Giselle (25 September – 2 November). This is followed by a world premiere by Queensland Ballet’s Jack Lister, in a bill with Cathy Marston’s The Suit (performed by Ballet Black) and Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs, which will be presented in Birmingham and London (19 September - 30 October). Sir Peter Wright’s Swan Lake returns from 29 January – 4 April, and then the change of direction is marked with the company premiere of Acosta’s Don Quixote (19 - 27 June) in its first UK performances outside London.
