The noir and the blanc: a very French affair
Set to the music of Georges Bizet and Edouard Lalo, Paris Match is a double bill celebrating everything chic about French music and dance. Teaming classical white ballet with ultramodern noir, this programme matches the pleasingly elegant with the shock of the new.
Suite en Blanc is a quintessentially French experience: spirited, stylish, playful and romantic. One of the great 'blanc' or 'white' ballets, it's a star-making showpiece for the full company. Against Edouard Lalo's evocative score, this unmissable ballet celebrates the high style and hauteur of mid-century Paris.
Set to Bizet's sublime - and sublimely French - L'Arlesienne Suite, Divergence is one of The Australian Ballet's most iconic works. Choreographer Stanton Welch pushed classical ballet to its absolute limits and Vanessa Leyonhjelm's industrial-strength costumes - tutus recast in material usually reserved for air-conditioning ducts; breastplates structured from car upholstery - are a revelation. Acclaimed as 'bold', 'gutsy', and 'madly passionate', Divergence makes a much-anticipated return to the stage in 2009.
