tylerls Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 "The Sydney Morning Herald" reports that the Paris Opera Ballet will be performing in Sydney for two weeks in June 2007: Paris ballet poised and pointed for Opera House debut This was also mentioned in the current, August/September 2006 issue of "Dance Australia", on page 16. They'll be doing a gala at the Sydney Opera House, and then a season of "Jewels" and Nureyev's "Swan Lake" in Sydney's Capitol Theatre. Unfortunately, they won't be performing in any of the other capital cities. Dance Australia says that "Melbourne's State Theatre is not available at (the) time". If anyone can confirm actual performance dates, and when and where tickets go on sale, please let us know. I need to book some annual leave to fly up there. Link to comment

Golden Gate Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Does anyone know when these go on sale? I want to head out to see both of them. What a great opportunity! Can't be missed. Link to comment
tylerls Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Does anyone know when these go on sale? Swan Lake and Jewels went on sale on the Internet about four hours ago, but you seem to need some sort of presale code. The general sale starts 9am on the 5th of December. Ticketmaster Edit: Search for "capitol" and then choose "Capitol Theatre, Haymarket". It's a few pages into the search results. No idea about the gala, yet. Link to comment
tylerls Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 I just found the official website for the tour via the Capitol Theatre's website. There's still no word about the gala, though it's listed on Manuel Legris' own website. Link to comment
tylerls Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 POB have finally announced the details of the gala. I just received an email about it. The details are here: Paris Opera Ballet - Grand Gala Wednesday 13th of June 2007, 19:30 at the Sydney Opera House. PROGRAM: Paquita (after Marius Petipa): Grand Pas Swan Lake (Rudolf Nureyev after Marius Petipa): Pas de trios, Swan Lake Act III La Dame aux camélias (John Neumeier): Pas de deux INTERVAL The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude (William Forsythe) Sonatine (George Balanchine) Three-Cornered Hat (Le Tricorne) (Leonide Massine): Miller’s Dance, solo L’Arlésienne (Roland Petit): Pas de deux Tickets are on sale on the 2nd of April at 9am from the Sydney Opera House website Be warned, the tickets are pretty expensive. An A-reserve seat will set you back as much as a full subscription to The Australian Ballet company's 2007 season. Link to comment
