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 breathes fresh life into this nineteenth-century classic, trading traditional tropes for a vibrant vision of the Mediterranean. With an expansive score by Ludwig Minkus driving the drama, it is a perfect entry point for anyone who enjoys high-stakes storytelling and the athletic grace of world-class principal dancers.
