by Kiddo Mag
Australia's biggest ballet gala embarks on its most ambitious series to date, with an interstate tour across capital cities, kicking off in Adelaide at Her Majesty’s Theatre on 20th of August 2023.
The Ballet International Gala (BIG) sees the world's greatest ballet dancers from the world’s most prestigious companies perform a highlight reel of the most iconic ballets with a modern twist.
Following the success of its sell-out interstate debut, BIG returns to Australia for BIG IV in August 2023 with one of ballet’s biggest ever artists as its headliner, danseur étoile, Roberto Bolle of Teatro alla Scala. Roberto will be joined by other international heavyweights from the Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and the Australian Ballet, including Alina Cojocaru, Melissa Hamilton and Aran Bell & more, in what is described as a ballet like no other.
BIG IV is brought to you by BIG Live, spearheaded by its young directors, Joel Burke and Khalid Tarabay, who are causing a stir in the ballet industry following their successive, sell-out performances across Australia.
