A co-production with Queensland Ballet
*West Australian Ballet is thrilled to tour to Adelaide for the first time in over a decade. For the Adelaide performances, we will be using a high-quality recording of West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) performing the award-winning arrangement of Wojciech Kilar’s soundtrack, with all musicians remunerated in accordance with our agreement with WASO. West Australian Ballet is one of the largest employers of musicians, artists, and creative talent in WA. Our hope is to return to Adelaide after this season, and when we do, be accompanied live by South Australian musicians.
