TUTUS will take centre stage in Cairns next month as The Royal Ballet presents a special performance.
The one-night-only outdoor event will bring one of the world's finest ballet companies to northern Queensland as part of the QPAC International Series.
The gala performance brings around 15 of The Royal Ballet company's dancers, including principal dancers Marianela Nuñez, Edward Watson and Australian Alexander Campbell, and fellow Australian dancer Calvin Richardson, together on stage for a special series of short solo and pas de deux works, including moments from Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet, Le Corsaire and Don Quixote.
Accompanying them will be two pianists from The Royal Ballet along with a violinist and cellist.
It will follow the company's two Australian-premiere works, Woolf Works and The Winter's Tale, performed exclusively at QPAC from June 29 - July 9 in Brisbane.
- The gala performance is on July 12 at the Munro Martin Parklands.
