Birmingham Royal Ballet: Black Sabbath - The Ballet

From Thurs 18 Sep View Venues, Dates & Times

Carlos Acosta's acclaimed production honouring Birmingham's musical legacy.

Black Sabbath - The Ballet is a spectacular theatrical evening featuring thrilling dance alongside full orchestrations of legendary Black Sabbath tracks such as Paranoid and Iron Man, as well as new orchestral works inspired by their music.

Carlos Acosta was drawn to both the band’s work and its musical legacy as the originators of Heavy Metal. This full-evening ballet is a unique undertaking with three composers and three choreographers, led by renowned Choreographer Pontus Lidberg (whose work has been performed by the Swedish Royal Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet). Composer Chris Austin (whose work includes orchestrating the White Stripes music for Wayne McGregor’s Chroma) and award-winning writer Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer, The Opera), complete the creative trio behind this extraordinary metal symphony which takes place over three acts. Black Sabbath themselves were closely involved in developing this unique collaboration.
