THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET
A ballet by John Neumeier
With the music of Dmitri Shostakovich
Regent Theatre, Melbourne
21 February - 1 March
Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House
4 - 22 April

Vaslav Nijinsky was at the height of his career during the early 20th century. His unparalleled performances brought him adoring fans while his evocative and sensual choreography caused riots in theatres in Paris.
In a tragic turn of events, Nijinsky succumbed to the effects of schizophrenia, spending the remainder of his life in and out of treatment centres. He gave his last public performance in 1919 in a Swiss hotel in a dance that reflected the gamut of emotions.
A spectacular piece of theatre, Nijinsky is a tribute to the visionary dancer and choreographer who changed the ballet world forever.

These performances of Sonata for Viola and Piano, Op. 147 and Symphony No. 11 in G minor, Op. 103 by Dmitri Shostakovich are given by arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical, by permission of Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd.


CARMEN
With the music of Georges Bizet
Regent Theatre, Melbourne 7 - 18 March 2025
Canberra Theatre Centre
20 - 25 June 2025

Johan Inger's award-winning production of Carmen is an exhilarating journey that thrusts Georges Bizet's 19th-century opera into the modern world with a breathtaking display of athleticism and passion.
Created in 2015, Inger's contemporary retelling of Prosper Mérimée's 1845 novella is a darkly compelling story of the dangerously seductive Carmen, whose love affair with Don José ends in brutal tragedy. Broadening its gaze beyond its fiery heroine, Inger's Carmen is seen through the eyes of a boy bewildered by the ugly manifestations of machismo.

These performances of "Carmen Suite" by Georges Bizet (arranged by Rodion Shchredrin) are given by arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical Pty Ltd, exclusive agents Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd of London
