Birmingham Royal Ballet - Quantum Leaps / Cyrano

Birmingham Royal Ballet returns with two contrasting programmes. Quantum Leaps features Stanton Welch’s uplifting Powder, danced to Mozart's popular clarinet concerto. Fluid and sensual, this piece is a brilliant celebration of nostalgia, beauty and joy.

The Centre and its Opposite is a new work from contemporary choreographer Garry Stewart, Artistic Director of Australian Dance Theatre, set to a powerful electronic soundscape. Birmingham Royal Ballet Director David Bintley’s E=mc² has a specially commissioned score by Matthew Hindson, and explores Einstein’s ‘Special Theory of Relativity’ in music and dance of breathtaking energy and speed.

"Bintley's explosive talent is matched by composer Matthew Hindson's writing one of the best pieces of new dance music this side of Stravinsky... This powerful work has a very long shelf life"
DAILY EXPRESS

"This triple bill shows off the company's splendid strength in performance"
SUNDAY TIMES

Cyrano is a hilarious and heartbreaking story of one man’s truly self-sacrificing devotion, choreographed by David Bintley with music by Carl Davis. The beautiful Lady Roxane is in love with the dashing cadet Christian de Neuvillette, and so enlists her cousin, the poet and soldier Cyrano de Bergerac to deliver her intended a love letter. Cyrano is an extraordinary man, blessed with a big heart, a big mind… but an even bigger nose.

"An attractive, entertaining ballet... the kind of evening that sends the audience out with a warm feeling in their hearts"
DAILY TELEGRAPH
