Summary
Yu Kurihara takes the title role in Carlos Acosta’s production of this Minkus ballet, conducted by Gavin Sutherland with the Birmingham Royal Ballet.
Why it's fantastic
Carlos Acosta reimagines a nineteenth-century treasure, trading traditional Spanish plains for the atmospheric canals and masked balls of Venice. The sweeping score by Ludwig Minkus provides a rhythmic backbone for this expansive production, which offers a grand introduction to classical storytelling through its intricate costumes and vibrant character dances.
