PRESENTED BY THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET
Our cities are reopening, and colour and brightness are returning to our lives. Celebration Gala features grand classical showpieces, thrilling contemporary excerpts, perennial favourites and more.
After our dancers performed a five-star (Limelight Magazine) Sydney season, our Celebration Gala comes to Melbourne, where the whole company brings you a taste of what you missed this year including pieces from New York Dialects (George Balanchine’s Serenade and an excerpt from Pam Tanowitz’s Watermark) and Counterpointe (an excerpt from William Forsythe’s Artifact Suite).
