WELCOME TO 2015
DON’T MISS A MOMENT WITH A 2015 SEASON PACKAGE
Ballet embodies all that is beautiful about the human experience. It tells stories without uttering a word. Beauty is ballet’s driving force, and its demanding aesthetic – once mastered – frees the dancer and choreographer to create art that can transport us to a different time and place.
We have our own unique Australian beauty, powered by athleticism, and our dancers have a strength that is dynamic and exciting. They are fearless and optimistic, thriving on the myriad challenges of ballet in the 21st century, and their diversity beautifully reflects our rich and inclusive Australian culture.
Beauty, magic and romance are the elements that bind our 2015 season. There are happy endings for Cinderella and her Prince, and for the fairies and immortals in Frederick Ashton’s The Dream. There is redemption through tragedy for Siegfried and Odette, Albrecht and Giselle. There is also the sharp-edged, modern beauty of Balanchine and Stravinsky, Tharp and Glass, and a new work by Tim Harbour, each capturing the contemporary splendour of its time.
Then there is our new production of The Sleeping Beauty. I could not be more excited to take on this monumental work – a magical ballet where fairies and royalty live side by side and the birth of a princess brings out both the good and evil of the kingdom.
I undertake this huge challenge in the best company, working with the extraordinary set and costume designer Gabriela Tylesova, the amazing lighting designer Jon Buswell and the inspiring dancers of The Australian Ballet.
Our Principal Partner Telstra shares our passion for innovation and connection, and, along with our Lead Partners Qantas and Samsung, enables us to share the beauty of ballet. From our Government partners comes funding that helps maintain the creativity of the nation; and it’s wonderful to celebrate our triumphs with our passionate donors, whose philanthropic support helps us realise our dreams. Finally, I want to thank you, our audiences, for the vital support which has made us the creative company we are today. I hope you will join us in 2015 as we strive to bring yet a little more beauty into your lives.

Graeme Murphy’s modern-day classic is a Swan Lake for the 21st century, charged with sensuality and heartbreak. The Australian Ballet’s most performed and most successful work has swept the world before it,
reaping standing ovations and storms of tears in London, Paris, Tokyo, and New York. After a sell-out season in Melbourne in 2013, this powerful
production returns to Sydney for the first time since 2008.
The romance of Odette and Prince Siegfried is updated (and complicated) to a contemporary love triangle with the addition of the Baroness von Rothbart, a slinky mistress who has no intention of releasing her freshly married lover. Murphy’s breathtaking pas de deux and massed swans
are framed by legendary designer Kristian Fredrikson’s darkly sparkling lake, contrasted with the glittering magnificence of regal weddings and
ballrooms. This is Swan Lake as you’ve never seen it before.

Love conquers death in the ultimate Romantic ballet. Since its premiere in 1841, Giselle has captured the imagination and torn at the heart.
A village girl falls in love with a man who is not all he seems. When she finds out his deception, she dies of a broken heart. Transformed into a spirit, she battles
to save her lover in a wood haunted by the ghosts of jilted women.
For the ballerina, it offers a career-making opportunity to show off not just technique but emotional range, as she moves from an innocent girl to a tender,
womanly spirit. Maina Gielgud’s acclaimed production, with Peter Farmer’s atmospheric designs, perfectly captures the ballet’s dramatic blend of
real-life passions and otherworldly apparitions. Yearning, madness, supernatural forces and transcendent, redemptive love: Giselle is the
Romantic era crystallised in one perfect work of art.

Mischievous sprites, troublesome loves and dazzling dance: this sparkling triple bill celebrates Frederick Ashton, one of the greatest influences on 20th-century
ballet and the epitome of the English classical style.
Shakespeare’s most charming comedy is the basis for Ashton’s whimsical take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The fate of humans and fairies are hilariously
entwined in a flowery bower designed for The Royal Ballet’s original 1960s production. Ashton traces the tangled love lines of the characters with warmth
and wit, and Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the perfect soundtrack for his elegant, playful choreography.
Two Ashton gems, Monotones II and Symphonic Variations, show the choreographer delighting in music and pure, airy movement.
This playful, captivating triple bill is perfect for all ages.

Witty, vibrant, glamorous and romantic, Alexei Ratmansky’s Cinderella will sweep you off your feet. By popular demand, and after sell-out seasons in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, this smash-hit crowd-pleaser returns
to bewitch us again in an exclusive encore season.
Ratmansky, the most in-demand choreographer in the world and the master of the modern story ballet, fills every bar of Prokofiev’s cinematic score as he charts Cinderella’s journey from rags to rapture. Jerôme Kaplan’s vivid, sophisticated
designs draw inspiration from Dior, Schiaparelli, the elegance of 1940s Hollywood, and Surrealist art. Like Ratmansky’s Cinderella – transported to the ball by planets
and stars – we are whisked by this magical ballet to new heights of wonder.
Hailed as “effervescent and fun as festive champagne” [Daily Telegraph] and “exquisite from start to finish” [Crikey], Cinderella is “a triumphant addition to
the repertoire” [Dance Australia]. Get ready to fall in love all over again!

MODERN BEAUTY
The best of the 20th century, the freshest of the 21st: this electrifying triple bill showcases two giants of the New York dance scene
and our newest resident choreographer.
George Balanchine’s Symphony in Three Movements is inspired by the revolutionary music of Igor Stravinsky, his friend and muse. This provocative
piece kicks off with a line of chic dancers haughtily tossing their ponytails and blends the rigour of ballet with the vigour of jazz.
Twyla Tharp’s pulse-pounding In the Upper Room sets the stage alight
with scarlet pointe shoes and sneakers, the driving music of Philip Glass and a bracing blend of classical and contemporary technique. It’s described
by Tharp as “the only piece I’ve done that generates a standing ovation at almost every performance”.
Be there for the unveiling of Resident Choreographer Tim Harbour’s
newest ballet – a stripped-down work set to a contemporary electronic score, featuring set designs by cutting-edge architect Kelvin Ho.
20:21 – the most thrilling night of modern dance you’ll see this year.

Fairies, bluebirds, a gilded court and a spell-shattering kiss: the world’s most extravagant ballet is awakened to new life by our Artistic Director David McAllister.
The Sleeping Beauty, with its Rose Adage, its grand pas de deux, its charming variations and its enchanting Tchaikovsky score, is the zenith of ballet’s golden age.
Keeping true to the spirit of the traditional Beauty, David McAllister will direct
a production that gives thrilling rein to the talents of the entire company. Lavish sets and costumes by Gabriela Tylesova, whose work for ballet, opera and theatre includes the much-lauded designs for Love Never Dies, will evoke the splendour
of the Imperial court and the magic of fairies, nymphs and visions.
The much-anticipated world premiere of this landmark production will be the crowning moment of the year. Don’t miss the moment
when this majestic Beauty opens her eyes.

AN INVITATION FROM SARAH MURDOCH, DEPUTY CHAIR OF THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET
“I can think of no greater nor more exciting ballet for David McAllister to put his name to than The Sleeping Beauty. Showcasing Petipa’s choreography, Tchaikovsky’s colourful score, a designer of international repute and the great artists of this company, this new work has all the hallmarks of success. I invite you to embrace this rare and exciting chance to be a part of the creative journey from the very beginning and to support David’s breathtaking new Beauty for The Australian Ballet.”
DAVID MCALLISTER ON HIS VISION
“In 2015, 40 years after first watching the Bluebird Pas de deux as a young boy, I am taking on the mantle of director to create a new production of the third and greatest of the Tchaikovsky ballets, The Sleeping Beauty. This production will be a 19th-century classic for a 21st-century audience, following Petipa’s choreography but deepening and clarifying the drama. Knowing the talented dancers that we have in the company today, I really look forward to letting them shine in this brand-new traditional production.
“The sets and costumes will be by acclaimed designer Gabriela Tylesova, who says, ‘The Sleeping Beauty is a fantastic piece which has been on my dream list for a long time … There will be hundreds of costumes: bejewelled, enchanting tutus; ornate robes; layered period dresses; sparkling headdresses; wings, and more. Embarking on this journey will be like travelling back to the land of my childhood dreams.’
“I hope you will join me in bringing the magic and glory of this fairytale favourite to life.”

BRING BEAUTY TO LIFE
A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE CREATION OF THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
21
1984 The Australian Ballet opens the new Victorian Arts Centre with the world premiere of Maina Gielgud’s The Sleeping Beauty, designed by Hugh Colman. The production will later be acclaimed by London critics and audiences when it is performed at Covent Garden.
2005Stanton Welch, one of The Australian Ballet’s resident choreographers, creates a new Beauty for the company with fanciful costumes by Kristian Fredrikson.
2012 Matthew Bourne reimagines The Sleeping Beauty as a Gothic romance, with a vampire Lilac Fairy and a tomboy Aurora who falls in love with the gamekeeper.
2015 David McAllister’s vision for a 21st-century Beauty comes to life. Sumptuously designed by Gabriela Tylesova, this fresh traditional version is a culmination of the ballet’s long and illustrious journey from the Russian Imperial court to the stages of the West.
A HISTORY OF THE SLEEPING
BEAUTY
1890 Marius Petipa works with Piotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky to create the first Beauty for the Imperial
Theatres in St Petersburg. This lavish, hours-long pageant
becomes the city’s latest craze, and inspires nine-year-old Anna
Pavlova to become a dancer.
1921 Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes
premieres its production in London. Renamed The Sleeping
Princess, the ballet features designs by Léon Bakst of such
opulence that they push the production wildly over budget.
Unable to meet its debts, the Ballets Russes is forced to flee
the city, leaving the ballet’s sets and costumes behind.
1946 The Royal Ballet reopens Covent
Garden after World War II with an exquisite version of The
Sleeping Beauty starring Margot Fonteyn and Robert Helpmann.
Choreographed by Frederick Ashton, it begins the West’s
infatuation with the ballet.
1964 The Australian Ballet gets its first
taste of Beauty when Artistic Director Peggy van Praagh
choreographs a production of its final act, Aurora’s Wedding.
1973 The new Sydney Opera House
opens with the world premiere of The Sleeping Beauty, directed
by Robert Helpmann.

EXPLORE OUR YEAR OF MUSIC
MUSIC DIRECTOR AND CHIEF CONDUCTOR NICOLETTE FRAILLON ON THE SEASON’S
MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS
The music for our 2015 season is incredibly diverse. It ranges from the early 19th-century beginnings of ballet music through to sophisticated works in which music, emotion and drama closely match staging and steps, to avant-garde, out-there-sounding scores.
SWAN LAKE
Part of the brilliance of Graeme Murphy is that he juxtaposes seemingly light, bright, brillante music with the desperation of Odette and her psychological and emotional breakdown.
Act IV is the most incredible piece of music and runs the gamut of all the emotions we’ve experienced in the rest of the ballet, and I think it’s one of the most brilliant pieces of theatrical music ever created.
THE DREAM
The Dream is one of my favourite ballets. I’ve wanted The Australian Ballet to perform this ever since I joined the company. We have the perfect potential casts: you need technically brilliant boys as well as noble male heroes, from Puck to King Oberon, through to comic actors for the role of Bottom. You also need fairy-like, fleet-of-foot women and a very elegant, gracious Tatiana, and we have all of these.
Ashton, in Symphonic Variations, is continuing the development of abstract ballet in which the music is the starting point for the dance. Great choreographers take the the structure and the emotional expression of the music and create a choreographic partner. The absence of one specific story allows us as an audience to create our own multiple stories.
CINDERELLA
One of Prokofiev’s greatest strengths in his ballets is his really quirky instrumentation to represent characters or narrative. A great example is the use of the tuba and the lower end of the orchestra for the comic moments for the ugly sisters or stepmother on stage … or magical moments like Cinderella appearing at the ball, accompanied by violin harmonics, flutes and the bell-like celeste, all of which reflect this moment of naïve wonderment. SYMPHONY IN THREE MOVEMENTS
Stravinsky created this symphony of war in 1945, just as World War II was ending ... it’s full of evocative and quite violent imagery. It’s not light entertainment at all; it’s Balanchine getting right inside Stravinsky’s head and reflecting, through very powerful choreography, everything that the musical score represents.
It is very clean, clear, crisp neo-classic expression, definitely classical music of the 20th century but with real populist jazz and filmic feel. A truly great score and ballet.
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
The Sleeping Beauty is recognised as being probably the greatest of all 19th-century ballet scores. Tchaikovsky uses every possible compositional device in creating powerful musical/dramatic storytelling: his genius permeates every single moment of the score.
The Rose Adage is a gem. Musically, Aurora is growing up in front of our ears and eyes: the music builds and builds and builds, becomes texturally more complex and dynamically louder, to a strong and emotionally compelling climax.

“ Bodytorque is such an important event and crucial to nurturing the next wave of dance makers” HERALD SUN

Get ready to see the future of ballet unfold. The Australian Ballet’s Bodytorque season continues to evolve in 2015 with unique “pop-up” performances after selected shows of The Dream and 20:21 in Melbourne and Sydney.
