Adelaide, the magic awaits ✨

For the first time in almost 50 years, we’re bringing Sir Frederick Ashton’s enchanting Cinderella to Australian stages, with Adelaide hosting the world premiere of this landmark revival in 2027.

One of ballet’s most beloved fairytales, Ashton’s Cinderella brings together romance, exquisite choreography, opulent design and Prokofiev’s magnificent score in a spectacular three-act production.

To mark this milestone, we’re joining Adelaide Festival Centre for a celebration of ballet, featuring Ballet en Masse on Festival Plaza, the Cinderella: Origins of a Fairytale exhibition, and a program of conversations, workshops and classes.

Cinderella will play from 4–11 September, accompanied live by Adelaide Symphony Orchestra

🩰 Michela Kirkaldie & Kelvin Coe 1980

This landmark production of Cinderella has been made possible through the generosity of The Australian Ballet’s giving community, led by South Australian philanthropists Dr Pamela Wall AO and the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation.

The broader celebration of ballet, including Ballet en Masse on Festival Plaza and the exhibition Cinderella: Origins of a Fairytale, is supported by the Government of South Australia and Adelaide Festival Centre.

We thank our presenting partners Qantas and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

That's a wrap for On Tour in 2026 🩰

It has been a joy to travel across Australia with The Australian Ballet School and perform for so many audiences and communities.

This year’s program featured Act II of The Nutcracker, adapted by Paul Knobloch after Marius Petipa; the Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, choreographed by George Balanchine © The George Balanchine Trust; and two world premieres, Chrysalis by Stephanie Lake and We Dance by Sandra Parker.

A huge thank you to our Principal Partner Telstra, for their ongoing support of our 2026 season.

We look forward to taking the program around the country in 2027 ✨
