Tutus on Tour

20 September — 8 October, Queensland Regional Tour

Throughout September and October, our dancers will pack up their tutus, tights and pointe shoes to bring a wonderful evening of ballet to venues across regional Queensland.

Tutus On Tour brings together three outstanding dance works.

Poignant and uplifting, Ershter Vals pays tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the award-winning Three Preludes is set to the rich music of Rachmaninoff and the dazzling Verdi Variations enchants with gentle humour and thrilling technique. 

The performance will be followed by a Q&A session and an informal, engaging discussion about the works with Artistic staff and dancers.

This enticing program of classical and contemporary works is not to be missed.
