If you’re an avid ballet lover, then you will know the thrill of a triple bill – or even if you’re not, the three distinctive pieces by different choreographers, presented in a single performance are a perfect introduction. Prism takes this format and runs with it – weaving together three distinct artistic journeys that defy expectations and captivate audiences. Premiering in the Harbour City this spring at the Sydney Opera House on November 7, Prism promises anything but a typical night at the ballet.
The kaleidoscopic experience pairs visionary choreographers with acclaimed composers to create something truly original. The program features landmark works from two international choreographers – William Forsythe and Jerome Robbins – alongside a world premiere from Australia’s own Stephanie Lake. The choreography will be paired with compositions by Philip Glass, James Blake, and J.S. Bach, reimagined by Peter Brikmanis.
Together, they form a dynamic performance that reimagines what ballet can be. It’s contemporary ballet with an edge – ambitious, at times unconventional, and always unexpected.
Prism is coming to the Sydney Opera House from November 7 to 15. Head to The Australian Ballet website for performance times, general tickets, and more info.
