About BRB2: Carlos Acosta's Ballet Celebration
BRB2, Birmingham Royal Ballet's second company, embarks on its fourth UK tour in May 2026.
Described as 'pinsharp and personality laden' by The Daily Telegraph, BRB2 brings together some of the world's very best young dancers, the international stars of the future, to share their incredible talent.
Carlos Acosta created this brand-new gala production for BRB2 in 2025, featuring highlights from the repertory of Sergei Diaghilev's troupe of rebel dancers, musicians and designers who fled Russia to set a new standard in creativity that inspires and resonates across the world of dance to this day.
Repertory includes The Firebird, Le Spectre de la rose, Les Sylphides, Les Biches and Shéhérazade.
BRB2 is supported by multi-year gifts from Oak Foundation, Charles Holloway OBE, Jerwood Foundation, The Linbury Trust, Mary Laing and the late David Laing. Also supported by The George Cadbury Fund, The Kirby Laing Foundation and The Noël Coward Foundation.
Downloadable castsheets can be found on brb.org.uk/castsheets. Final versions should be available at least two hours before the performance but earlier versions may be uploaded sooner.
