“For 60 years The Australian Ballet has toured the country bringing exquisite productions to communities that might otherwise never get the opportunity to attend live ballet performances.” The Australian Ballet executive director Lissa Twomey said.
“Since 1980 when the tour became a regular part of the company’s yearly programming, The Australian Ballet has delivered over 800 performances in 71 locations, travelling approximately 10,000km each year.”
“Taking The Australian Ballet on tour is a vital link to audiences around the country,” The Australian Ballet artistic director David Hallberg said.
“Many of our dancers’ careers were cultivated in dance schools across the nation, and we hope our performances will inspire kids in Australia to explore dance with The Australian Ballet.”
