Presented by: Royal New Zealand Ballet

The winter brings three works celebrating the heritage of the Royal NZ Ballet & the contributions of outstanding artists from our past, present & future.

The centrepiece of the evening is the New Zealand premiere of Birthday Offering, created by Sir Frederick Ashton for 14 legendary dancers, led by Dame Margot Fonteyn, to mark The Royal Ballet’s 25th birthday in 1956.

We present Birthday Offering as a centenary tribute to Rowena Jackson, & as part of Ashton Worldwide 2024 – 8, a global celebration of the art of Frederick Ashton.

Two works made for the RNZB complete the programme: Sarah Foster-Sproull’s Ultra Folly (2020) & Andrea Schermoly’s Stand to Reason., created for the women of the Royal New Zeal& Ballet in 2018 to mark the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand
