Birmingham Royal Ballet continues with its policy of presenting its diverse repertory to the widest possible audience from 19 to 30 May 2015.

The Company will once again split into two: one half and Royal Ballet Sinfonia travelling to the south of the country and the remaining half travelling to the north.

The split-tour initiative enables Birmingham Royal Ballet to present full-scale works with orchestral accompaniment in mid-scale venues not normally associated with a company of its size.

2015 and the split tour will see Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia perform in Cheltenham, Poole, Truro, High Wycombe, Nottingham, York, Durham and Shrewsbury.

North split tour 2015 will take Frederick Ashton's 1933 Les Rendezvous, Alexander Whitley's 2014 Kin., and Kenneth MacMillan's Elite Syncopations to Grand Opera House, York on 19-20 May, Theatre Royal, Nottingham on 22-23 May, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury on 26-27 May and Durham Gala on 29-30 May.

South split-tour 2015 will take Kit Holder's Quatrain, Ballet Highlights from Swan Lake and Beauty and the Beast, Ruth Brill's new ballet Matryoshka, Ashton's 1931 Façade to Hall for Cornwall, Truro on 19-20 May, The Lighthouse, Poole on 22-23 May, Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham on 26-27 May and Swan Theatre, High Wycomber on 29-30 May.
