Birmingham Royal Ballet - Pomp and Circumstances / Sylvia
Birmingham Royal Ballet makes a long-awaited return to the London Coliseum with a refreshing programme of works.
Pomp and Circumstances offers three very different ballets. David Bintley's ever-popular and much-loved 'Still Life' at the Penguin Café, last seen in London in 2001, features a varied, amusing and touching array of creatures seeking shelter from the storm. The programme is completed with George Balanchine's stunning abstract dance piece Serenade and Frederick Ashton's Enigma Variations, which brings Edward Elgar and his friends to life in dance.
- "Bintley’s choreography is always elegant and attractive"
- THE MAIL ON SUNDAY
David Bintley's major reworking of Sylvia offers a humorous trip through time to learn valuable lessons in love. When the strife between Count Guccioli and his wife threatens to disrupt their anniversary celebration, the Count's infidelities endanger the burgeoning love between Amyntas and Sylvia, their servants. Bintley brings his unrivalled comic talent to this classic ballet, featuring music by Léo Delibes, the composer of Coppélia, and a colourful cast of Gods and Goddesses, slave girls and pirates.
