Soirée

When dance, visual art, and live music meet

Soirée offers a signature season of collaboration and creativity. In 2026, Queensland Ballet will partner with Philip Bacon Galleries and Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, drawing inspiration from the work of the late Jeffrey Smart, an iconic expatriate realist painter, acclaimed for his precisely delineated urban and industrial landscapes.

Featuring exquisite performances from our Jette Parker Young Artists and the Academy of Queensland Ballet’s Pre-Professional Program dancers, this unique season bridges visual art and ballet in a rich dialogue of disciplines.
