‘Once Upon A Time’; an original ballet theatre piece created and choreographed by MDC Directors Alfie Scalia and Daniel Ryan with additional choreography by Natalie Lim, Jessica Fry and Evin Turan and inspired by the wonderfully talented Melbourne Ballet Academy students.
‘Once Upon A Time’, as a story ballet, was able to take audiences on a journey through many different fairy tales featuring an array of interesting characters, villains and heroes.
Filled with enchantment and poignancy, a touch of magic and a side of comedy, there was a beauty on display that also veered into an eeriness and a darkness.
‘Once Upon A Time’ showcased a stage full of stars and proved itself to be an audience favourite performance. The combined artist’s ambition and passion fully on display allowed Melbourne Ballet Academy to bring to stage one of the most perfect performances the academy has ever produced at The MDC Theatre.
Congratulations to all MBA staff and dancers! What a wonderful world you brought to the stage!
