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 brings a cinematic scale to this production, blending classical Russian technique with a fresh narrative set against the Venetian canals. If you are new to the form, the melodic score by Ludwig Minkus provides a tuneful, rhythmic foundation that keeps the story moving through three acts of high-stakes drama.
