BRB2: Carlos Acosta's Ballet Celebration - Diaghilev & the Birth of Modern Ballet

BRB2, Birmingham Royal Ballet's second company, embarks on its fourth UK tour in 2026.

Described as 'pinsharp and personality laden' by The Daily Telegraph, BRB2 brings together some of the world's very best young dancers, the international stars of the future, to share their incredible talent.

Carlos Acosta’s Ballet Celebration was created especially for BRB2, featuring highlights from the repertory of Serge Diaghilev's troupe of rebel dancers, musicians and designers who fled Russia to set a new standard in creativity that inspires and resonates across the world of dance to this day.

Repertory includes The Firebird, Le Spectre de la rose, Les Biches, Les Sylphides and Scheherazade.
