BIRMINGHAM Royal Ballet will be pirouetting its way to Manchester later this month to perform David Bintley’s Beauty and the Beast at The Lowry, Salford.
The gothic fairytale production, one of the most popular ballets in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s repertoire, received its world premiere in 2003.
Created by David Bintley, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s director and one of Britain’s finest choreographers, the production has gone from strength to strength in the eight years since its creation and will appear at The Lowry from January 24 to January 28.
A spokesman said: “A beautiful girl, a hideous beast, a golden ballroom full of animals, two outrageously haughty sisters and a grumpy grandmother worthy of Roald Dahl, dance, prance and rage through the unfolding pages of Philip Prowse’s stunning set.
“David Bintley’s rich choreographic palette brings to life magical transformations, wild waltzes, soaring formations of birds and a relationship between Belle and the Beast that is at first terrifying, but ultimately serene and beautiful.”
Tickets are £15.50 to £37.50 and are available from The Lowry information and box office. Call 0843 208 6005 or visit thelowry.com.
