This month saw the first collaboration with Birmingham Royal Ballet in the transformed spaces at Symphony Hall.

Audiences enjoyed a Spanish themed brunch by the team behind the new B:EATS Cafe at Symphony Hall, before enjoying a performance from the world class dancers on the Jennifer Blackwell stage.

Unusually, the audience were able to sit within a few feet of the dancers, allowing them an intimate view of the complex barre and partner work.

Birmingham Royal Ballet also bought a selection of costumes to view.

Look out for more of these special collaborations in the future.
