dirac Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 A review of Birmingham Royal Ballet's Nutcracker by Deborah Weiss for DanceTabs. Quote Absent from the repertoire at the Royal Opera House this year, it was good to see Birmingham Royal Ballet inhabit the Royal Albert Hall with Peter Wright’s production for its third consecutive year. In spite of all the problems with performing a proscenium arch ballet in an arena setting with a purpose-built stage, it is no less magical than any other production and in some ways, it works advantageously. Having the orchestra, The Royal Ballet Sinfonia, situated high above the stage, under the baton of the always excellent Koen Kessels, adds another dynamic which enhances the overall enjoyment.
