Ballet in the bowl - The Australian Ballet open air performance

Enjoy a spectacular evening of the very best that dance can offer under a canopy of stars.

For one magical evening, Sidney Myer Music Bowl will be transformed into a ballet theatre where The Australian Ballet will perform excerpts from all your favourite works, including The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and more, accompanied by Orchestra Victoria.

A selection of wines, beer, spirits and soft drink and hot and cold food will be on sale in the venue. Free tap water will also be available.

Reasonable amounts of food and alcohol can be brought into the venue in soft-sided containers* or bags for personal consumption.

So bring a rug and a picnic, and enjoy a spectacular evening of ballet’s best. Whether you're young or old, ballet expert or novice - it’s the perfect way to start the March long weekend!
