Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB) has unveiled its new-look home following a ‘dramatic’ transformation costing around £2.7million. Darcey Bussell CBE attended the recent launch event, which was open to invited guests who’ve supported the fundraising campaign. The retired ballerina, who is BRB’s Campaign For The Future President, spoke of her delight at joining the company as it welcomed people to its new home. “The new facilities will allow Birmingham Royal Ballet to welcome the community, nurture the talent of the future and maintain their position at the forefront of both British and international dance,” said Darcey. The refurbishment sees BRB’s Hippodrome-based facilities transformed into an accessible first-class rehearsal space. The refurb will also enable the company to deliver further public-engagement initiatives, strengthening its ability to put learning and outreach work at the heart of its artistic and organisational strategy.
