Birmingham Royal Ballet presents three short, uplifting ballets - perfect for a summer evening at the theatre. Accompanied by its orchestra, this will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy first-class performances in an intimate setting. Quirky and fast-paced, Brouillards is danced to Debussy's piano preludes. Exuding a more wistful tone, Solitaire is a moving celebration of the power of one. Finally, Pineapple Poll is a vibrant nautical comedy with a happy ending. Birmingham Royal Ballet website.
