Birmingham Royal Ballet 2026-2027 Season
The Birmingham Royal Ballet 2026-2027 Season announced by Artistic Director Carlos Acosta features the world premiere of his The Maiden in Venice.
“I am so thrilled that we will be touring this new production.
Since arriving at BRB five years ago I have always had a vision of re-making La Bayadère. It is such an important ballet – to me personally, but also to the sector and to audiences. I understand why it has become problematic, but I feel passionate about not allowing it to be buried or to be, in effect, cancelled.
There are so many reasons why moving it to Renaissance Venice works so well for the storytelling, and I am so happy
that my company of amazing dancers will have the opportunity to perform this new version.”Carlos Acosta, Artistic Director of Royal Birmingham Ballet
