Ballet’s next generation spread their wings

Coming to Sadler’s Wells for the first time, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s younger sibling BRB2 puts the spotlight on some of the best ballet dancers from across the globe aged 18–22.

Take your seats for works from Serge Diaghilev, whose troupe of rebel dancers, musicians and designers fled Russia over 100 years ago to set a new standard of creativity in dance across Europe.

Whether this is your first ballet or you’re a long time follower of BRB, be prepared to be wowed by the incredible talent of these young dancers.

Repertoire includes The Firebird, Spectre de la Rose, Les Sylphides and Scheherazade.
