WORLD PREMIERE

“For 30 years I have been searching for my dream team for this ballet. Sally’s lyrical, dramatic music and Rae’s great flair for fantasy will bring it to life exactly as I imagine.” David Bintley.

A world premiere from David Bintley – an original new ballet for Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary. Conjured from Prospero’s magical isle, this spellbinding new work re-tells the powerful story of a man determined to right past wrongs – by all possible means.

For this unique creative collaboration, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Director has teamed up with award-winning composer Sally Beamish, designer Rae Smith (War Horse) and lighting designer Bruno Poet (Miss Saigon). Themes of love, loyalty and loss are punctuated by conspiracy, a comic duo, and a spectacular danced masque.

Eye-catching stagecraft, mesmerising puppetry and breathtaking flying promise to make The Tempest an unforgettable experience for the whole family this autumn.
