“Audiences are telling us that they want more ballet and more choice of productions, so that’s what we’re giving them in 2014!” said The Australian Ballet’s artistic director David McAllister. Amen to that.

Traditional highlights include Stanton Welch’s La Bayadere, an intoxicatingly exotic tale of temple dancers, angry gods and scheming villains, and Peter Wright’s whimsy flight of fancy, The Nutcracker. Avant-garde enthusiasts will anticipate Wayne McGregor’s contemporary mixed bill, Chroma, and George Balanchine’s technique masterpieces Ballet Imperial and Suite En Blanc.
