Performer: David Hallberg

Brimming with festive season joy, the Australian Ballet gives an exuberant performance of a Peter Wright classic: The Nutcracker. 

The Australian Ballet’s first commissioned full-length work in 20 years, based on the life of Oscar Wilde, fails to fully take flight. 

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.
