Vadim will dance with BRB Principal Dancer Céline Gittens in the role of Princess Odette. This will be a rare chance to see one of the world’s greatest ballet dancers perform outside London and in the South West. Vadim last performed in The Royal Ballet’s Swan Lake in March 2021 to critical acclaim and delighted audiences when he guested with Birmingham Royal Ballet earlier this year in Don Quixote at Birmingham Hippodrome.
