Artistic Director David Hallberg
I present my second season as Artistic Director of The Australian Ballet with an unwavering belief: there is great power in performance, even in the most challenging of times.
With pride, I lead our dancers back to the stage, where they will show you that their commitment to this art form is stronger than ever before. In 2021, they danced at the height of their capabilities in repertoire that explored the full arc of ballet, from the rigorously classical to the boldly contemporary.
And they will continue to do so in 2022, in works that demonstrate the variety of this company’s repertoire.
