Bequests ensure that The Australian Ballet will live forever, enriching the lives of all Australians for generations to come.
As a bequestor you become a member of our Dame Peggy van Praagh Leadership Circle which will bring you closer to The Australian Ballet. Through your membership of the Circle, with your permission, your bequest will be acknowledged in souvenir programs and annual reports. Should you wish your bequest to The Australian Ballet to remain anonymous, we will of course respect this and acknowledge your gift privately.
In appreciation of your gift to support the company’s future excellence, you will be invited to attend dress rehearsals, class on stage, and receive news bulletins which include items of interest from the national and international press.
Your support of The Australian Ballet will give you... "The satisfaction of knowing that you are bringing something of great beauty into other people's lives."
Peggy van Praagh
