The Australian Ballet has been inspiring and delighting audiences since 1962 and
is Australia’s national ballet company. A not-for-profit public company limited
by guarantee, it is funded primarily through its own commercial and fundraising
activities. It also receives funding from the Commonwealth, NSW and Victorian
Governments, through the Australia Council for the Arts, as a Major Performing
Arts Company. The Australian Ballet’s wholly owned subsidiary, Orchestra
Victoria, provides orchestral services for Opera Australia and Victorian Opera
as well as for The Australian Ballet. Enriched by our country’s most talented
dancers, we tour far and wide each year and have won fame at home and
internationally for our uniquely Australian style, which is athletic, authentic,
bold and expansive. Moving effortlessly between the great classical works and
the best of contemporary dance, including new commissions from both home and
abroad, The Australian Ballet offers the nation transformative experiences
through the power of our performances and our example of excellence.
