Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet is leaving London and moving 110 miles northwest to the industrial city of Birmingham. The lure: $10.6 million in extra funding. “The facilities to be built in Birmingham and the new money to be made available add up to an offer we cannot refuse,” explains Jeremy Isaacs, director of the Royal Opera House. Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet is the touring section of the Royal Ballet and usually performs in London at Sadler’s Wells Theater, while the Royal Ballet appears at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
