Be captivated by masters of modern ballet

Three masters unite in a mixed bill of one-act ballets that defines the very essence of what it means to be exceptional. 

Demanding precision, intention and immense skill, each work in the mixed bill will see our artists perform at the peak of their ability, demonstrating ballet at its most extraordinary. 

Featuring George Balanchine’s tribute to Russian ballet Ballet Imperial, alongside his classical masterpiece Duo Concertant, Jerome Robbins’ vibrantly comedic The Concert and William Forsythe’s groundbreaking The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude, this is an opportunity to experience rarely performed works by artists at peak of their ability.

Presented by The Australian Ballet
