Fraser Coast Regional Council Director of Strategy, Community and Development Gerard Carlyon said the Queensland Ballet program would include four different elements with the show described as “truly satisfying, strikingly beautiful and an absolute standout work.”
“Having the Queensland Ballet come to our region provides an opportunity for local residents to watch first-class performers without traveling to a capital city,” he said.
“The arts are the soul of our community, fostering unity, inspiring creativity and transcending boundaries to elevate the human experience.
“Council is keen to ensure we have connected, inclusive communities through our places, spaces and people, and hosting shows like this help us achieve that goal.”
The Queensland Ballet program includes Three Preludes, Tchaikovsky Mash, Le Corsaire pas de deux and A Rhapsody in Motion (2nd and 3rd movement).
“From an emotive story of love to a collage of tutus and Tchaikovsky music, to one of the most celebrated excerpts in the ballet world, this production features rich stories that will captivate lovers of music and dance,” Mr Carlyon said.
“Don’t miss this season of extraordinary works touring the Fraser Coast in March and join us for an unforgettable evening of grace, beauty and cultural celebration.”
The Brolga Theatre performance will be held on Wednesday, March 6 from 7:30pm.
The Queensland Ballet will also partner with Fraser Coast Regional Council through the Regional Arts Development Fund to host in-school workshops as well as Community Dance Classes in Maryborough during our Regional Tour in 2024.
Additional dance health offerings will include seated ballet class programs (Aged care and Hospitals).
