Jan McNulty Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 https://www.brb.org.uk/shows/ashton-classics The Company’s world-class dancers will perform some of the highlights from favourite Ashton ballets and alongside these, the Sinfonia will play some of the great scores that inspired his creations. Details of the repertory will be announced here once confirmed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I wish BRB did matinee performances of these events. Each year they sound appealing but as the last train from Birmingham to Cambridge leaves at about 9pm I can't go to evening performances in Birmingham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Took me a while to realise this was 2025! Fair play to Carlos (and Symphony Hall) for being so organised. The early bird gets the... and all that 👏 . I see from the website that excerpts from La Fille mal gardée, Enigma Variations, A Month in the Country, and The Dream are planned, and according to the photo gallery, there could also be Les Patineurs (the white couple pas de deux), Monotones II, The Two Pigeons, Facade (Popular Song) and Scenes de Ballet. Could this be to tie in with Ashton Celebration many companies are doing? Am impressed to see Carlos putting such a wonderful spotlight on Ashton works with Fille being staged in Birmingham, London and tour next season and now this grand celebration of his works. And it's on a Saturday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's on a Saturday! Well the title of the thread does say 2025! I wouldn’t take the photographs too literally, they are probably just for illustrative purposes. The dance area at these performances is tiny so the company may have to see which excerpts will fit without compromising the piece. These evenings began as showcases for the orchestra and I am sad that that emphasis seems to have been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Dancer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Oh this sounds good. I am already making a note of the date for a weekend in Birmingham. What a lovely idea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably a more careful and a slower, considered reader than I, @Jan McNulty! I just saw Symphony Hall and BRB, and as 2024 had just started, instantly imagined that it surely must be for 2024 as 2025 seemed such a long, long way away. I do welcome it being a showcase for the RB Sinfonia of course. I'll bear what you say in mind that the ballets in the photo gallery might not end up in the programme, thank you. Did you have to book in person? I went to the website and they said tickets couldn't be booked online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sent a priority booking link from BRB (as a Friend) but I thought it was now on public sale. I definitely booked online. It's absolutely bizarre that the website now says that the performance cannot be booked on line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am a friend, and tried several times yesterday to book on-line, without success- San P's message encouraged me to try again, just now. It still says that tickets can't be booked on line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
