Three choreographers use inspiringly orchestrated tracks from the city’s heavy metal legends to spring some surprises
hat on earth does a Black Sabbath ballet look like? It was hard to imagine when Birmingham Royal Ballet director Carlos Acosta, part of his mission to plant Brummie culture at the heart of BRB. But it is an inspired idea as Sabbath’s music is full of drama.
The show takes looser inspiration, based mostly in the present and built around some of the best-known songs such as War Pigs, Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Powerful riffs, inspiringly orchestrated by Christopher Austin and team, are sewn into a larger soundtrack. Strings and brass encroach on the guitars, fracturing the songs and threatening a brooding cacophony – paranoid, indeed.
