From the
Artistic Director
We move boldly, driven by an artistic vision that is audacious at its core.
We are bold in our expression, daring to challenge and
be brave in our desire to push the limits of ballet. 2019 will
see us present a season that offers more breadth than ever
before. From some of ballet’s most loved classics to brand
new works that will enliven both our dancers and audiences,
QB19 offers an invigorating treasure trove of dance.
QB19’s first season will see us swept up in a world of intrigue
and scandal, with Liam Scarlett’s daring new ballet, Dangerous
Liaisons. Based on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ classic novel, the story
has been adapted by this ballet wunderkind for modern audiences.
Later in the year, this delightfully wicked production will enthral
regional audiences as we tour the ballet throughout Queensland.
In May, we will present The Masters Series — a breathtaking
triple bill from some of ballet’s best choreographers, who are true
innovators of our art form. George Balanchine’s iconic Serenade
and Jiří Kylián’s powerful Soldier’s Mass need no introduction and
have the power to demand attention. Acclaimed choreographer
Trey McIntyre, who audiences will remember from his remarkable
Peter Pan, also joins us to create a brand-new work.
After a record-breaking sell-out season in 2014, we are
thrilled to be bringing Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s world-renowned
Romeo & Juliet back to the Brisbane stage. MacMillan’s compelling
choreography brings Shakespeare’s timeless love story to life and
the magnificent scale and depth of this ballet is not to be missed.
With boldness firmly front of mind, Bespoke returns with an
extraordinary program of genre-blending contemporary creations.
This year, choreographers Lucy Guerin, Amy Hollingsworth and
Loughlan Prior join together with a creative tribe of artists who
embrace the interlacing of technology and art, to create this truly
inspiring season of new dance works.
Always a family favourite, The Nutcracker, returns in December
gifting our audiences the ultimate Christmas celebration. This iconic
seasonal tale continues to enchant audiences the world over, and
Ben Stevenson’s choreography and characters ignite imaginations
and festive dreams in what has become a must-see festive tradition.
This year will also see us showcase the future stars of our
art form. Synergy brings together our Company and Academy in
season focusing on new works and new talent at the Judith Wright
Centre of Contemporary Arts. Later in the year, our students will
take centre stage with Queensland Ballet Academy Gala, exhibiting
the exceptional technique and artistry of our talented students
across an array of dance genres.
Our My First Ballet series, designed to introduce young
children to the wonderful world of ballet, returns in 2019. It is
a pleasure to present The Little Green Road to Fairyland with
Queensland Music Festival, choreographed by our own Paul Boyd.
Our youngest audiences will be immersed in a magical tale of
fairies and wonder accompanied by musicians from Camerata
and featuring special guest, Katie Noonan, singing at
select performances.
My sincere thanks go to our corporate partners and supporters
for helping us bring another elegant season of ballet to life.
The generous support of Principal Partner Suncorp, Major Partners
BMW, JCDecaux, Sealy, Shell QGC and Virgin Australia and our
family of supporters enables us to bring the best of ballet to our
audiences and make our artistic dreams a reality. As we move into
the 2019 season with boldness, it is a privilege to contribute to our
cultural landscape by creating art, breathing new life into existing
art and to continue to wonder, imagine and tell stories. We dare
you to explore with us the inspiring adventure that will be QB19.

Based on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ time-
honoured novel, Queensland Ballet’s Artistic
Associate and world-renowned choreographer
Liam Scarlett breathes life into this sultry tale
in a world premiere production. Set amongst the
aristocratic elite of late 18th century France, this
evocative and vivid work will scintillate audiences.
With a story that has captivated audiences around
the world for over 200 years, Dangerous Liaisons is a
hedonistic tale of love, virtue and humanity, reimagined
into a dramatic new ballet for mature audiences.
Dangerous Liaisons contains adult themes
and is not recommended for children.
A co-production between Queensland Ballet
and Texas Ballet Theater.
