Birmingham Hippodrome is one of the city's main performing arts venues, with a programme that ranges from ballet and opera to musicals, comedy, and touring drama. It is the home of Birmingham Royal Ballet and a regular venue for Welsh National Opera.
The theatre sits close to the Back to Backs and the Chinese Quarter, so it works well as an evening stop after exploring the city centre. Check the schedule before planning around it, as the building is most rewarding when you are there for a performance.
