BRB2 | |
Royal Ballet Sinfonia |
Some of the very best young ballet graduates from around the world get their moment in the spotlight in this programme, which includes sparkling classical highlights from Frederick Ashton’s Rhapsody (Rachmaninov), created in 1981 for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Lesley Collier, Carlos’s own temperature-raising Carmen (Bizet), Bournonville’s delightful La Sylphide, Petipa’s explosive Diana and Actaeon pas de deux, and Carlos’s own new interpretation for two dancers of Fokine’s The Dying Swan (Saint-Saens).
BRB2 is a brand-new company for dancers fresh from ballet schools around the world as they transition into permanent jobs with BRB and other international companies.
The founder members of BRB2 are Frieda Kaden, Maïlène Katoch, Oscar Kempsey-Fagg, Mason King and Jack Easton. This year, BRB2 will also include seven exceptional dancers from the Company: Artists Enrique Bejarano Vidal, Olivia Chang Clarke, Regan Hutsell, Sofia Liñares, Eric Pinto Cata, Lucy Waine, and Soloist Riku Ito.
