Performer: Charles Davis

Nicole Car makes her role debut as Dvořák's Rusalka in a production by Sarah Giles that proves a winner. 

Bangarra Dance Theatre's 2025 commissioned work reclaims space and offers ambitious visuals, but sacrifices intimacy. 

Emotions on stage are matched by those rising from the pit as Sarah Giles' popular production returns to Sydney. 

The Australian Ballet presents a diverse double bill of contemporary and classical dance, including its first major work from choreographer in residence Stephanie Lake. Unfortunately, only the classical piece exhilarates.

Sarah Giles' new production replaces Elijah Moshinsky's venerable staging, and the talented cast delivers a successful performance. 

Erin Helyard and his cast bring terrifically strong musical values to Charpentier's Médée, but Justin Way's production falters.
