Time Out says

The Australian Ballet has cancelled electrifying new contemporary show Volt

PLEASE NOTE: This event has been cancelled due to the government ban on mass gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic

"The Australian Ballet’s Artistic Director David McAllister said: “While this is disappointing to us all, the health and safety of our audience and company members is our top priority. The Australian Ballet will continue to rehearse and prepare for our next seasons and we will keep everyone up to date as the situation progresses. We look forward to returning to the stage in great shape and as soon as possible.”

Alice Topp is one of the rising stars of Australian choreography, most recently picking up a Helpmann Award for Best Ballet for her acclaimed 2018 work, Aurum. Now she’s receiving another accolade: being paired with one of the giants of contemporary ballet, British choreographer Wayne McGregor, in an electrifying new triple bill, Volt.

Exploring the monsters inside and outside of us, her new work Logos is choreographed to music by the contemporary Italian composer, Ludovico Einaudi. It will be performed in conjunction with two of McGregor’s best-known and loved works; 2006’s Chroma, which is set to the music of rock duo The White Stripes, and his Dyad 1929, which was created specifically for The Australian Ballet in 2009 and features US composer Steve Reich’s Pulitzer Prize-winning score Double Sextet.

General tickets for the full Volt performance start at $38.
