The Australian Ballet Japan Tour 2010

9 October 2010 - 21 October 2010

Following up from its successful tour to Japan 2007, the Australian Ballet Company will be presenting Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcracker ballets, choreographed by the spirited Australian choreographer Graeme Murphy.

Following sell-out seasons around Australia and critical acclaim in Paris, London, Tokyo and Shanghai, Swan Lake returns to Japan in 2010 for shows in Tokyo and Nagoya.

Set on a sweltering Melbourne Christmas Eve in the late 1950s Nutcracker - The Story of Clara, retaining the svelte dancing and classic score, this production includes film collage and an innovative design. This will be the production’s debut performance in Japan.

Founded in 1961, the diverse repertoire of the Australian Ballet covers the classical to the contemporary. In 2002, the new Artistic Director David McAllister, has established a progam under the motto ‘Caring for tradition, daring to be different’, and has made innovative works as the leading ballet company in Australia.
