The Birmingham Royal Ballet performed a production of The Sleeping Beauty at Sadlers Wells Theatre, differing from the Royal Opera House production notably in the portrayal of the Lilac Fairy as a mime rather than a dancing role.

Johan Inger's reinterpretation of Carmen through dance at Sadlers Wells by the English National Ballet focuses more on Don Jose than Carmen, portraying his downfall under her spell.

The Royal Ballet's production of "Swan Lake" at the Royal Opera House shines with stunning designs, beautiful dancing by Marianela Nunez and Vadim Muntagirov, and standout performances by supporting dancers like Luca Acri and Valentino Zucchetti.
