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’s reimagined production offers a rare chance to see how he reshapes classical tradition for modern audiences. With the bright, rhythmic score by Ludwig Minkus driving the story, this longer evening allows you to settle into a richly detailed world of period costumes and grand, technical choreography.
