Our City, Your Ballet
Our City, Your Ballet
There's a world-leading ballet company in the heart of Birmingham. Yours.
From our Thorp Street studios next to Birmingham Hippodrome we bring new life to ballet – celebrating the tradition of grand ballets like Swan Lake while pushing the art form in bold new directions, telling Birmingham stories with radical productions like Black Sabbath – The Ballet. And always underpinned by the artistry and technical excellence that make us admired around the world.
We proudly carry Birmingham's name across the UK and around the world.
We are BRB. This is our home. This is your ballet.
Leap in!
Come and watch us
Experience the power, the elegance, the artistry for yourself... Whether you're an old friend or you've never seen us before, why not join us at Birmingham Hippodrome this June to experience ballet at its most thrilling, its most thought provoking and most inspiring.
Join us
You can support us and our work by becoming a Friend. Your support plays a vital role in ensuring the arts continue to thrive here in our City, and together we can continue building a world-class ballet company that Birmingham can proudly call its own.
Every penny matters
Like every arts organisation in our great city, we no longer receive any financial support from the city council. Please support our work in the community, bringing opportunities to people from all walks of life to experience the power of dance.
Birmingham has suffered some devastating cuts to the arts, and for the first time since making this city our home in 1990, BRB is receiving no funding from Birmingham City Council.
We're committed to creating world-class ballet, nurturing future talent through our programmes like Dance Track, and touring the UK with live music from our incredible Royal Ballet Sinfonia. We want to reflect Birmingham to the world – but we can only do it with your support.
When you choose to support BRB, you protect far more than what happens on stage. You create opportunities for young people in our communities, spark creativity – from our studios, through our offices, to our technical departments – and help nuture the careers of our talented dancers.
With your support, we can welcome our audiences, old and new, keep the arts accessible and inclusive, and ensure they remain a vital part of Birmingham's cultural life for generations to come.
Be part of something special in our city, join as a Friend, book to see a performance today, or simply help us spread the word!
We look forward to welcoming you!
