Birmingham Royal Ballet 2025 Japan Tour
We are delighted to announce that Birmingham Royal Ballet returns to Japan, led by Director Carlos Acosta for the first time, at the end of June 2025 after 7 years absence since the triumphant tour in 2018.
Birmingham Royal Ballet will bring two of the most exuberant productions in their rich repertoire: Sir Peter Wright's magnificent production of The Sleeping Beauty that enchanted the audiences in Japan on the last tour, and former Company Director Sir David Bintley's spectacular fairytale, Cinderella, to be revived in Japan for the first time in 10 years.
More details will be announced at a later date.
