Cyrano

The beautiful Lady Roxane is in love with the dashing cadet Christian de Neuvillette, and so enlists her cousin, the poet and soldier Cyrano de Bergerac to deliver her intended a love letter. Cyrano's an extraordinary man, blessed with a big heart, a big mind... but an even bigger nose.

This hilarious and heartbreaking story of one man's truly self-sacrificing devotion, set in 17th-century France, has been made famous to modern audiences through stage and film interpretations. This production, choreographed by David Bintley for Birmingham Royal Ballet, has a specially commissioned score by Carl Davis.
