The Australian Ballet's return to London's Royal Opera House after a 35 year absence, proves successful at every level.

This Don Quixote reveals the extraordinary depth of talent within Australian Ballet, challenging all ranks of the company and presenting a stellar production.

The Australian Ballet do full justice to Shakespeare's epic tale of star-crossed lovers. Featuring a restaging of John Cranko's famous ballet, the first in almost twenty years, both the ensemble and leads shine in bringing Verona to life. 

A lovingly reproduced historical reconstruction, but is it enough to connect with modern Australian audiences?

Who needs a pumpkin carriage ride to transport you to the ball when you could surf celestial webs instead? Certainly not Prokofiev's Cinderella, if Alexei Ratmansky’s 2013 Australian Ballet production is anything to go by.
