Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Galina Samsova

Now 45 years old, the Wright/Samsova production is faithful to all the key elements of the traditional ballet but with plenty of embellishments that give the BRB Swan Lake its own uniqueness.

 This production provides a hugely fulfilling evening, rich in drama and the beauty of classical ballet.

Sir Peter Wright’s production returns to Birmingham Royal Ballet after an absence of five years, with Céline Gittens and Brandon Lawrence sharing great chemistry. 

True to its origin in the Romantic period of the 19th century, this Swan Lake dances the Royal Birmingham Ballet into history because of the beauty of its leading dancer, Céline Gittens, one of the world's first non-white ballerinas.
