About the ShowTurn up the volume on Birmingham’s musical legacy as Black Sabbath meets balletAfter a sell-out opening season in 2023 and international tours in 2024 and 2025, Carlos Acosta is turning up the volume on Birmingham’s musical legacy once more when Black Sabbath – The Ballet returns this autumn. Black Sabbath – The Ballet is a spectacular theatrical experience, featuring thrilling dance and original Black Sabbath recordings (including Paranoid and Iron Man) alongside full orchestrations of their work and original orchestral compositions inspired by the sound of metal – all performed live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia. Black Sabbath forged their unique sound in Birmingham. Black Sabbath themselves were closely involved in developing this unique collaboration. Sparks fly again with the return of this intriguing response to Black Sabbath’s music and legacy – the first true heavy metal ballet experience.
