The company

Founded in 1962, The Australian Ballet is one of Australia’s flagship arts companies and one of the busiest ballet companies in the world.
Each year it presents approximately 200 performances in cities and regional areas around Australia in addition to regular international touring.
The Australian Ballet’s diverse repertoire reflects our vision: caring for tradition, daring to be different. Each year, we perform works from the classical repertoire as well as more contemporary works and commissions that explore the development and future of this dynamic art form.
