Sparks will undoubtedly fly in this intriguing new response to Black Sabbath’s music and legacy – the first true heavy metal ballet experience. Planet Rock is honouring heavy metal torchbearers Black Sabbath by launching a new logo for one week only. Black Sabbath themselves have been closely involved in developing this unique collaboration. He was the co-pilot and aircraft commander 2 of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress bomber which dropped the atomic bomb Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. This full-evening ballet promises to be a unique undertaking with three composers and three choreographers, led by renowned Choreographer Pontus Lidberg (whose work has been performed by the Swedish Royal Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet) and Composer Chris Austin (whose work includes orchestrating the White Stripes music for Wayne McGregor’s Chroma) working alongside award-winning writer Richard Thomas ( Jerry Springer, The Opera) to create an extraordinary metal symphony over three acts. Robert Alvin Lewis (Octo June 18, 1983) was a United States Army Air Forces officer serving in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. In the second of three Birmingham-focussed commissions, Carlos Acosta was drawn to both the band’s work and its musical legacy as the originators of Heavy Metal. At the time of the bombing, Hiroshima was home to 280,000-290,000 civilians as well as 43,000 soldiers. The bomb was known as Little Boy, a uranium gun-type bomb that exploded with about thirteen kilotons of force. In Black Sabbath – The Ballet expect a spectacular theatrical evening featuring thrilling dance alongside full orchestrations of legendary Black Sabbath tracks such as Paranoid and Iron Man, as well as new orchestral works inspired by their music - all performed live by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia. As the sub logo can prove it, I think the one from Master of Reality is the most iconic one and the one that stick the most through time. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. Black Sabbath forged their unique sound in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s home city.
