In 2024, we will be performing a special one-off season of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland©. Our performances in Sydney will be held at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are available to purchase through Ticketmaster only. As such, these performances fall outside of our 2024 Season Packages held at the Sydney Opera House.

Subscribers are entitled to discounted tickets. Please contact The Australian Ballet customer experience team to retrieve your exclusive link to access discounted tickets through the Ticketmaster website.

In March 2024, The Australian Ballet will perform its final season at the State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne, until the company returns in 2027.

During that time, the company will temporarily perform at the historic Regent Theatre at 191 Collins Street, in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

Melbourne Regent Season Packages will be released for sale from Tuesday 28 November 2023.

However, current Principal Package subscribers will receive priority access to book their Regent Principal Package in advance of this release date, starting with those who have continuously held a package for the longest period, as well as our most dedicated philanthropic supporters. We will notify subscribers of their exclusive priority access period soon.

Melbourne Create Your Own packages will go on sale on Tuesday 19 December 2023.

No seats have been allocated for Season Packages at the Regent Theatre in 2024.

We understand that everyone has their own preference of where they like to sit in the theatre when attending the ballet and which seat they consider to be the best option for them. Therefore, current Principal Package subscribers will receive priority access to purchase their Regent Principal Package and select their own seats at the Regent Theatre. Their exclusive on sale date will be announced on 12 September 2023.

Regent Season Packages will be released to Principal Package subscribers starting with those who have continuously held a package for the longest period and our most dedicated philanthropic supporters first, to recognise the loyalty of these members of our community.

All Season Packages at the Regent Theatre will be new, and unfortunately, we’ll be unable to renew currently held seats and Season Packages from the State Theatre to the Regent Theatre.

However, as the Regent Theatre has a larger capacity than the State Theatre, there are enough seats to accommodate all existing subscribers should they wish to purchase a Season Package at the Regent Theatre.

When we return to the State Theatre in 2027, there will be a new seating plan introduced to accommodate a greater number of accessible seats and wheelchair positions in the renovated venue.

The new State Theatre seating plan is not yet finalised.

When Season 2027 goes on sale, it is our intention to match any Season Package seats held in 2023 as close as possible, however we cannot guarantee the same seat.

In Melbourne, two seasons will be included in your 2024 Season Package.

As a result of the change to venue and limited theatre availability, we will be unable to present the same number of seasons and performances in 2024.

Due to the reduced performance footprint, we have designed a range of new Season Packages especially for our time performing at the Regent Theatre which will feature every day of the week and performance time.

We look to present more seasons at the Regent Theatre in 2025 and 2026.

In 2024, we will be performing a special one-off season of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland©. Our performances in Melbourne will be held at the State Theatre. As such, these performances fall outside of our 2024 Season Packages held at the Regent Theatre.
