The Australian Ballet

Australia’s national ballet company

Born of Australia’s deep, enduring love of dance and culture of storytelling, The Australian Ballet has been inspiring and delighting audiences through the power of dance since 1962.

Moving effortlessly between the great classical ballets and the best of contemporary dance, The Australian Ballet innovates beyond ballet’s rich tradition – presenting works by the most exciting choreographers in the world, nurturing Australian choreographic leaders of tomorrow, and commissioning new pieces to ensure the art form remains a vital force in Australia and internationally.

Enriched by the country’s most talented dancers, The Australian Ballet tours far and wide – presenting performances each year in capital cities, regional communities and schools around the country, and regularly tours to major international cultural centres as a proud ambassador for Australia on the world stage.

Throughout the course of its 60-year history, The Australian Ballet has established a reputation for technical and artistic excellence, showcased through an expanded and diverse repertoire, performed in the company’s uniquely Australian style, which is athletic, authentic, bold and expansive.
