Birmingham Royal Ballet today announces that His Majesty King Charles III is the Company’s new Patron, a role previously held by the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Lady Sarah Chatto is named President of Birmingham Royal Ballet, having previously been Vice-President.

The news was shared as Birmingham Royal Ballet attended a celebration to mark the official birthday of King Charles III, held in The Hague at the residence of the British Ambassador to the Netherlands Joanna Roper CMG. The special event was one of the highlights of BRB’s current tour to Rotterdam as part of Holland Dance Festival where they are performing the first international dates of their hit production, Black Sabbath – The Ballet.

       

The dates in Rotterdam mark the start of Birmingham Royal Ballet’s summer European tour visiting Rotterdam, Luxembourg and Hamburg plus a gala performance of Carlos Acosta’s Classical Selection in Iceland. This summer, Birmingham Royal Ballet will also be the only ballet company to be performing at the world famous Glastonbury Festival, appearing on the iconic Pyramid Stage as well as taking up residency at Birmingham Museum and Gallery for a series of workshops and special performances.

Carlos Acosta, Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Director said: “We are honoured that His Majesty King Charles III, a long time supporter of BRB and visitor to performances, will take on the role of Patron, a position previously held by his mother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Birmingham Royal Ballet standardly performs at Birmingham Hippodrome for approximately ten weeks of the year and the remainder of the year tours throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. On average, the Company performs 175 shows a year nationally and internationally.
