THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET IN 2011
“A world-class ensemble, assured and brilliantly versatile" The Age
In 2011, The Australian Ballet presents modern classics, timeless tales and bold new ballet in the lead up to its 50th birthday. Highlights of the season include Madame Butterfly, a bittersweet tale of passion and promises from renowned Australian choreographer Stanton Welch plus the very special British Liaisons featuring works from three of Britain’s most celebrated choreographers. There’s also the return of The Merry Widow, one of the most popular works in The Australian Ballet’s repertoire and the world premiere of Romeo and Juliet from choreographic legend Graeme Murphy. All performances are accompanied by the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra.
