Salford’s The Lowry, will be hosting the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of The Sleeping Beauty with seven performances taking place between the 30th March and the 3rd April 2010.

The Birmingham Royal Ballet’s visit to Salford in March 2010 is sure to be one of the year’s highlights for ballet fans across the North West. The Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production of The Sleeping Beauty at The Lowry Theatre, in Salford, lasts from Tuesday 30th March to Saturday 3rd April 2010. The Ballet is accompanied by a classical score by Tchaikovsky and this production is by former director Sir Peter Wright.

The Birmingham Royal Ballet website said the following about the 2009 production of The Sleeping Beauty:-

“…………Considered by many to be one of the greatest ballets from Imperial Russia, The Sleeping Beauty, will be performed during March. Birmingham Royal Ballet’s production by Peter Wright brings the story to life with lavish sets, over 150 beautiful hand-sewn costumes and a cast of over 80….”

Birmingham Royal Ballet whose director is David Bintley CBE, is quite interesting for another reason – it was formed in 1990, when Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet, which had also had a world wide reputation for quality productions, moved to Birmingham.

It may be a while off, but now is the time to try and get the best seats, possible. The Sleeping Beauty performance schedule at The Lowry is as follows:-
