Complete performances of three timeless classics, presented by The Australian Ballet.  

The Australian Ballet’s Tchaikovsky Collection brings together three iconic ballets in acclaimed performances: Graeme Murphy’s celebrated production of Swan Lake; Peter Wright’s The Nutcracker, hailed as one of the world’s most enchanting productions; and The Sleeping Beauty from The Australian Ballet’s Artistic Director David McAllister.

Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake Featuring Madeleine Eastoe, Robert Curran and Danielle Rowe. Filmed 2008. It’s a familiar tale – a love triangle between a princess, her prince, and a woman with a prior claim on his heart. Murphy’s choreography is at once an homage to the grandeur of 19th-century classicism and an invigorating update that speaks compellingly to the audiences of today.

David McAllister’s The Sleeping Beauty Featuring Lana Jones, Kevin Jackson, Amber Scott and Lynette Wills. Filmed 2015. A majestic production of this timeless classic. With lavish sets and costumes by award-winning designer Gabriela Tylesova, this ballet spills over with fairies, princes, nymphs and storybook characters.

Peter Wright’s The Nutcracker Featuring Benedicte Bemet, Andrew Killian, Kevin Jackson and Madeleine Eastoe. Filmed 2014. Sugar plums and snowflakes, dreams and spells – Peter Wright’s The Nutcracker is one of the world’s most acclaimed productions. Sumptuously staged and set to Tchaikovsky’s renowned score, this ballet is a truly magical experience for the whole family.
