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
Ballet legend Carlos Acosta brings a cinematic eye to this staging, which transforms the traditional story into a vivid, fast-paced drama. Between the grand orchestral score and the elaborate period costumes, the three-hour run time disappears in a whirl of intricate movement that highlights the technical precision of its leading dancers.
