Before the Paris Opera Ballet commence their season at Sydney’s Capitol Theatre, the étoiles and premiers danseurs of the company will participate in what will surely be a landmark in the history of ballet in this country, a glittering one-off Grand Gala Performance at the Sydney Opera House.

The programme for this extraordinary evening will not only showcase the talents of the participating dancers but also provide a sampler of the company’s remarkable repertoire, featuring highlights from ballets by Pierre Lacotte, Marius Petipa, Leonid Massine, Roland Petit, George Balanchine, John Neumeier and William Forsyth that trace the trajectory of dance from the great 19th century classics to the contemporary masterpieces.

As hosts of this unique evening The Australian Ballet, will welcome to its Sydney home one of the great ballet companies of the world. 

This historic performance would not have been possible without the magnificent and generous support of Veuve Clicquot.
