This year, we moved into our new Melbourne home – the Regent Theatre, worked with new world-renowned creatives and choreographers, shared dance with more Australian communities through our Education and Outreach programs, commissioned new groundbreaking productions and created many extraordinary memories along the way. Here are some of our favourite memories from Season 2024!
As we reflect on our favourite moments of 2024, we're reminded that none of these milestones would have been possible without you. On behalf of our Company, our Philanthropy Ambassadors Drew Hedditch and Annabelle Watt extend their heartfelt thanks to our Ballet Family.
