Birmingham Royal Ballet announces Black Sabbath Ballet tours as the band prepares for the final show

The Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB) announced the national and US tours of its Black Sabbath - The Ballet for the rest of 2025.

In the United States, BRB perform the ballet at the Chrysler Hall in Virginia in May and at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington D.C.

The UK national tours are at Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham, in September; The Lowry, Salford, in October; Theatre Royal Plymouth, Plymouth, in October; Sadler's Wells, London, in October and Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, in October-November.

I watched Black Sabbath when BRB toured to Rotterdam last year. It was very nice to meet Principal Dancer Beatrice Parma.

Meanwhile, Black Sabbath, the band, has reconciled/is reconciling and gearing up for Back to the Beginning, which was announced in February. The star studded gig will take place in July 2025 at Villa Park in Aston, the band's birthplace Birmingham.

The original band members of 1968, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, will play for the first time in 20 years and headline the gig. It is meant to be the final bow for the band and Ozzy Osbourne. Read this article in The Guardian newspaper.
