The Australian Ballet embodies a unique

The Australian Ballet embodies a unique Australian spirit—dynamic and courageous, it captivates a new generation through innovative, contemporary performances while remaining firmly anchored in tradition. For six decades, it has established a benchmark for excellence.


Moreover, it sets an unparalleled global standard for injury prevention and rehabilitation. With an impressively low injury rate, the company's physical therapy team is highly sought after by Olympians, top-tier athletes, and ballet dancers worldwide.

In her role as the new Patron of @ausballet, the Governor-General recently visited Melbourne to tour the company, observe rehearsals for Nijinsky, and engage with the visionary Artistic Director @officialdavidhallberg, a former principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. She also met the company's ambitious leadership team, including new Executive Director Claire Spencer AM, interim Executive Director Sally Underwood, and Head of Costume Musette Molyneaux.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the remarkable dancers for their warm welcome behind the scenes.

Nijinsky is set to premiere at the Sydney Opera House on April 4, and for those in Canberra, The Australian Ballet's rendition of Carmen will debut in June.
