Birmingham Royal Ballet is inviting Chamber members to a special gala event celebrating its next major ballet creation, The Maiden of Venice.

It promises to be a night of Venetian glamour at the Grand Hotel in Birmingham on 26 March as BRB reveals its new ballet conceived and directed by Carlos Acosta.

The event will be hosted by Natasha Kaplinsky (pictured), the renowned broadcast journalist and television presenter who was the first winner of Strictly Come Dancing.

Guests will also hear directly from Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Artistic Director Carlos Acosta.

The Maiden of Venice is a reimagining of the nineteenth-century classic La Bayadère, regarded as one of the masterpieces of classical ballet.

For the first time in its history, Birmingham Royal Ballet will present a full-length interpretation that showcases the extraordinary technical skill and expressive power of its dancers.

Carlos has said that realising this new production has been a long-held ambition since he became artistic director.

The gala offers first-class client entertainment, fine dining and the rare chance to hear more about this project from Carlos himself.

Guests will also enjoy performances by world-class ballet dancers in the intimate setting of the Grand Ballroom.

A limited number of tables and individual places are available.

Individual tickets are £275 per person and tables are £2,750.
