BEAUTY OF BALLET
When The Australian Ballet was founded in 1962, Swan Lake was its first production. The world's most famous ballet will be reimagined in 2023 by Hallberg. "Swan Lake has stood the test of time for a reason," he says. "Every major ballet company needs to have their own version of this classic story and I am not shying away from the beauty of ballet. It's time to [revive] a beloved version, where we look back a touch to inform where we are today."
VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS
The rich archive of costumes is overseen by head of wardrobe Musette Molyneaux, who has been with the company for 15 years. "I love working on the revival productions. To keep it as true to its original form but also bring freshness is a true privilege for me. And I think that's what keeps people coming back to the ballet, as well as keeping the job exciting for all of us here."
