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.

and Texas Ballet Theater.
