News Story
From the dancers on stage to the people working behind the scenes, Birmingham Royal Ballet is made up of a huge community of people who are passionate about ballet and proud to call Birmingham home. But what does Our City, Your Ballet mean to the people who help bring BRB to audiences every day?
As part of our Our City, Your Ballet campaign, we asked staff from across the Company to share what they love about Birmingham, what ballet means to them, and why they are proud to be part of BRB.
The passion, skills and commitment of our staff help us to bring unforgettable moments not only to our theatre audiences, but also to hundreds more beyond the stage, through our learning and engagement programmes, community projects, and opportunities that inspire the next generation. However, none of this happens without the generosity of those who believe in our work, and that's why we'd be so grateful for your support.
If you've enjoyed our Our City, You Ballet series and believe in what Birmingham Royal Ballet brings to the city of Birmingham and beyond, why not become a Supporter today? Birmingham Royal Ballet is a charity, and your support makes an enormous difference to the work we do – both in the spotlight and behind the scenes.
Every gift you give helps ensure that the people you've met throughout this campaign can continue doing the extraordinary work they love to do, for the audiences who love it too.
