Sir Jon Trimmer

On the premiere of RNZBs Hansel and Gretel we said good bye to the biggest icon in New Zealand ballet history.

Sir Jon Trimmer 18th Sept 1939- 26th Oct 2023 and dedicated 50 years to the company!

Jonty (as we knew him) has graced his presence in many shows at both the Suter Theatre and the Theatre Royal Nelson with Louise Hawke at the Academy of Ballet Arts here in Nelson performing in “Alice”, “Tchaikovsky”, “Dancers from the Ballet Russe”, “Aurora’s Wedding” and others all produced and directed my Louise Hawke.

Such a kind soul who was always a shining presence where ever he was. An inspiration to ballet as an art, Jonty not only an incredible dancer but a true artist and loved passing on his knowledge to other dancers.

“I have to contribute a huge part of my career to Jonty, we taught me so much about the presence on stage, using music to create the mood and character of a role. Dancing with Jonty at RNZB and the Academy of Ballet arts for many year was a privilege I will never forget!” Adriana Harper

Rest in Peace Jonty! 💙

Whoo hoo! It’s offical, Ballet Nelson is presenting Cinderella this year.

We certainly need some laughs after the year we have had and what better way than to finish the year with a story for a young girl going from rags to royalty because she never gave up her kindness and loyalty, even though her father neglected her and worse her new family miss treated her and worked her to the ground.

When: 14th & 15th Dec
Where: The Suter Theatre

Tickets on sale soon!
