Pomp and Circumstances/Sylvia at the Peacock Theatre

Event: Pomp and Circumstances/Sylvia
Date: April 14th to 18th

The Birmingham Royal Ballet is returning to the Coliseum and theatre fans are in for a treat.

For four days, this travelling collective will perform two different shows - Pomp and Circumstances and Sylvia, which are sure to attract plenty of fans to the capital.

Pomp and Circumstances is three plays rolled into one, including Balanchine's Serenade, a wonderful example of abstract dance set to glorious music.

Enigma Variations meanwhile tells the tale of Edward Elgar and his friends through the medium of dance.

David Bintley's Still Life at the Penguin Café is the final instalment and features a varied, amusing and touching array of creatures seeking shelter from a storm.

Sylvia meanwhile will take audiences through some valuable lessons in love, telling the story of Count Guccioli and his wife, whose bickering threatens their anniversary.

The count's infidelities also endanger the growing love between their servants Amyntas and Sylvia.

With demand for accommodation likely to be high, female travellers can ensure they have top-quality facilities to go back to after a highly-entertaining evening by booking a suite at the luxury London hotel the Milestone.

The Well-Being Package will provide lucky guests with a non-alcoholic fruit cocktail on arrival, fresh fruit and mineral water each day, a one-hour body massage and much more.
