Birmingham Royal Ballet have announced that Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov will perform the roles of Kitri and Basilio in the world premiere of Carlos Acosta’s production of Don Quixote, for two nights only at the Birmingham Hippodrome on 22 & 23 February.

Nuñez and Muntagirov performed the roles for The Royal Ballet in 2019, and Nuñez danced Kitri with Acosta in the original staging in 2013, Acosta’s first ever full length ballet.

For Birmingham Royal Ballet, the production has been redesigned, reconfigured and choreographed in parts to keep it fresh, visually vibrant and tourable. The production began last week in Southampton and after its Birmingham run (18-26 February), it will tour to The Lowry Salford, Sunderland Empire and Theatre Royal Plymouth. 

Acosta said: “It’s not unusual for international ballet stars to make guest appearances with other companies and on this occasion it feels so right. Marianela and Vadim know these roles so well. It will feel like stardust has been sprinkled on the already brilliantly bright stage. Everyone in the company is really excited to have them perform with us.”
