Welcome to a bold new chapter for Queensland Ballet. In our first curated season under the artistic direction of Ivan Gil-Ortega, our 2026 season celebrates ballet’s power to connect - across generations, disciplines, and cultures. It’s a season that honours tradition while embracing innovation, inviting audiences to experience the full spectrum of ballet’s expressive potential.
This year, we present a dynamic program, that spans epic masterpieces, contemporary creations, and beloved classics. From the grandeur of Messa da Requiem to a world-premiere reimagining of The Nutcracker, each production is a testament to the magic of our artform, and the transformative power of collaboration - between dancers, musicians, designers, and storytellers.
Whether you’re a lifelong ballet lover or a curious newcomer, the 2026 season offers something to move, inspire, and connect us all. Join us as we step into a season of artistry, imagination, and shared experience.
