Here’s a sneaky peak of Birmingham Royal Ballet director David Bintley’s version of Aladdin, which is gearing up for its first UK performance at the Symphony Hall.
And here’s a bit of background:
Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Director David Bintley created a new version of Aladdin for the National Theatre of Japan in 2008.
Birmingham Royal Ballet perform an excerpt from the piece this month at the 2010 Evening of Music and Dance at Symphony Hall. This is the first time that the work will be seen in the UK.
Here you can see David teaching part of the excerpt to dancers Momoko Hirata and Alexander Campbell.
Many thanks to Rob Lindsay at Birmingham Royal Ballet for this. For more information on the 2010 Evening of Music and Dance, please visit the Symphony Hall website.
