On Thursday 18 June we celebrated our Founding Director Laureate Sir Peter Wright's centenary with a performance dedicated in his name, where dancers performed excerpts from his productions of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle and Coppélia, as well as Kurt Jooss's The Green Table. At the end of the performance, members of BRB – from administrative staff and management to dancers and guest répétiteurs – stepped on to the stage to commemorate Sir Peter's extraordinary career and contribution to both Birmingham Royal Ballet and the wider industry.

Photographer Johan Persson captured images from the performance.
