The Australian Ballet celebrates 50 years on the world stage with two landmark programs: a bold interpretation of Swan Lake and a mixed bill of all-Australian works.
SWAN LAKE
This dazzling version, created by superstar Australian choreographer Graeme Murphy, gives this most classical of ballets a modern twist. Set to Tchaikovsky’s immortal score, this spectacular interpretation features a contemporary storyline full of drama, wit and passion.

INFINITY
The Australian Ballet shows off its agility, athleticism and unique Australian style in Infinity, a daring mixed bill. The program features Wayne McGregor’s rule-breaking Dyad 1929, a work created in 2009 especially for the company’s dancers; an electrifying collaboration between The Australian Ballet and Bangarra Dance Theatre, Australia’s Indigenous dance company; and a sensational selection of excerpts from the company’s most loved ballets set against a multimedia backdrop.
