Does anyone know of any details about their new season, especially in 2002?<BR>I checked ENB's website, but they don't seem to have a season calendar, and neither does BRB. <P>Thanks in advance.

Hi Terry! You may already have seen this partial information, but perhaps it's useful for other readers as well. <P>Bear in mind that ENB have a new Artistic Director, Mats Skoog, who may still be developing his plans and BRB face delays for the re-opening of Birmingham Hippodrome, their home. <P><B>English National Ballet</B><P><B>Southampton - Mayflower Theatre</B> <BR>Box Office: 023 8071 1811 <BR>October 23 - 27 at 7.30pm <BR>& October 25 at 2.00pm (schools' matinee) <BR>& October 27 at 7.30pm <BR>Michael Corder's Cinderella <P><B>Oxford - Apollo Theatre</B> <BR>Box Office: 0870 606 3502 <BR>November 5 - 10 at 7.30pm <BR>& November 8 at 2.00pm (schools' matinee) <BR>& November 10 at 2.30pm <BR>Michael Corder's Cinderella <P><B>Manchester - Opera House</B> <BR>Box Office: 0161 242 2509<P>November 20 - 21 at 7.30pm <BR>& November 21 at 2.00pm (schools' matinee) <BR>Balanchine's Apollo and Who Cares? and Hampson's Double Concerto <P>November 22 - 24 at 7.30pm <BR>& November 24 at 2.30pm <BR>Michael Corder's Cinderella<P><BR><B>Bristol - Hippodrome</B> <BR>Box Office: 0870 607 7500 <BR>November 27 - 28 at 7.30pm <BR>& November 28 at 2.00pm (schools' matinee)<BR>Balanchine's Apollo and Who Cares? and Hampson's Double Concerto<P>November 29 - December 1 at 7.30pm <BR>& December 1 at 2.30pm <BR>Michael Corder's Cinderella <P><BR><B>Liverpool - Empire Theatre</B> <BR>Box Office: 0870 606 3536 <BR>December 11 - 15 at 7.30pm <BR>& December 13 at 2.00pm (schools' matinee) <BR>& December 15 at 2.30pm <BR>Derek Deane's The Nutcracker <P><BR>**********************************<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><B>Birmingham Royal Ballet</B> <BR> <BR><B>SADLER'S WELLS, LONDON</B><P>Swan Lake<BR>5-10 September 2001<P>The Seasons / Dante Sonata / 'Still Life' at the Penguin Cafe<BR>13 - 15 September<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN: 020 7863 8000<BR>or online at <A HREF="http://www.sadlerswells.com" TARGET=_blank>www.sadlerswells.com</A> <P> <P><B>Academy at the NATIONAL INDOOR ARENA, BIRMINGHAM</B><P>Swan Lake<BR>20 - 22 September<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN: 0870 9094144 <P> <P><B>BIRMINGHAM HIPPODROME</B><P>Arthur part 2<BR>dates to be confirmed<P>Arthur part 1 <BR>dates to be confirmed<P>The Nutcracker<BR>30 November - 15 December<P>Romeo and Juliet<BR>6 - 9 March<P>Tombeaux / Sanctum / Façade<BR>13 -16 March<P>Powder / Carmina burana<BR>8 - 11 May<P>Hobson's Choice<BR>22 - 25 May<P><B>THEATRE ROYAL, PLYMOUTH</B><P>The Seasons / Prodigal Son / 'Still Life' at the Penguin Cafe<BR>24 & 25 October 2001<P>Swan Lake<BR>26 - 28 November 2001<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN <P><BR> <P><B>BRADFORD ALHAMBRA</B><P>The Seasons / Prodigal Son / 'Still Life' at the Penguin Cafe<BR>30 & 31 October 2001<P>Swan Lake<BR>1 - 3 November 2001<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN <P><BR> <P><B>SUNDERLAND EMPIRE</B><BR>The Seasons / Prodigal Son / 'Still Life' at the Penguin Cafe<BR>6 & 7 November 2001<P>Swan Lake<BR>8 - 10 November 2001<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN<P><B>THE LOWRY, SALFORD</B><BR>Swan Lake<BR>15 - 19 January 2002<P>PUBLIC BOOKING OPEN <BR> <BR> <BR> <P> <P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited July 09, 2001).]

Stuart, <P>Thank you SO much for all the information. <BR>It's too bad that these companies are not making frequent appearances in London!!<BR>

I know what you mean Terry and of course we Londoners always want to see as much dance as possible. However, we get vastly more than our share of dance in the UK and thus it is important that thse two major companies perform the bulk of their schedule elsewhere. <P>However, Terry, I assume that ENB will be back at London's Coliseum for much of December and January. Looking at the Autumn schedule it seeme likely that we will get some performances of Michael Corder's 'Cinderella'. Like much of his work, it didn't make much impression on me the first time, but others have told me how much they enjoy it, so I ought to see it again.
