BIRTHDAY OFFERING

The centrepiece of the evening is the New Zealand premiere of Birthday Offering – created by Sir Frederick Ashton for The Royal Ballet’s 25th birthday, and the finest dancers of their generation, then all performing at Covent Garden, in 1956.

ULTRA FOLLY

Ultra Folly was created in 2020, the rhythmic drive and vigour of its score, the lively La Folia variations performed by renowned early music ensemble Hesperion XXI and their founder Jordi Savall, inspiring highly physical and intricate choreography that not only celebrates the pleasure of moving to music with friends, but the joy of human touch and connection.

STAND TO REASON

Since its creation in 2018, Stand to Reason has become a talisman and a taonga for the women of the Royal New Zealand Ballet. The work builds on the power and unity of a highly-trained corps de ballet, as the dancers channel the courage and conviction of the women who won the vote, in choreography that is by turns athletic, cathartic, defiant and tender.
