Raymond Gubbay presents
Swan LakeThe greatest romantic ballet of all! This is an
immortal love story filled with magic, emotion and
beauty. From the opulence and splendour of the
magnificent court room to the exhilarating lake
scenes where swans play in perfect formation,
Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful music creates
a truly unforgettable experience.
The NutcrackerIn a magical new production, this most famous of
fantasy ballets opens as night falls on a traditional
fireside scene on Christmas Eve. On the stroke of
midnight we are transported to an enchanting world
where toy dolls come to life as an army of soldiers
does battle with a gang of mice and a Nutcracker is
transformed into a handsome prince.
By Roald Dahl Adapted by David Wood
We present Roald Dahl’s amazing story about a
young boy who makes a marvellous new medicine to
cure his grandmother of her terrifying temper.
But when his grandmother drinks his special new
potion, the most incredible things start to happen.
And George’s adventure has just begun!
The Birmingham Stage Company is back on tour
with a brand new adaptation of one of Roald Dahl’s
funniest and most exciting stories.
It follows the company’s acclaimed productions
of Horrible Histories and Danny The Champion
Of The World.
