The Australian Ballet presents Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

It’s time to go back down the rabbit hole… Don’t be late! Tickets are on sale now for Christopher Wheeldon’s extravagant Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland©.

Masterfully translated from Lewis Carroll’s beloved book, Wheeldon brings the humour and eccentricities of the original story to the ballet stage in a fantastical tale suitable for the whole family. Watch as The Queen of Hearts rampages around her court, the White Rabbit shimmies his tail and the Caterpillar sparkles in 16 crystal-covered pointe shoes.

Tony Award-winning designer Bob Crowley has blended high-tech wizardry and traditional stage craft, weaving magic through puppetry and eye-catching design elements. Composer Joby Talbot captures Wonderland’s moods in an evocative score alive with Cheshire purrs and ticking clocks.

David Hallberg’s shares, “Alice is an absolute audience favourite, it’s a family-friendly colourful trip down the rabbit hole that’s full of humour, gorgeous dancing and the mystery of Alice’s magical adventure. Christopher Wheeldon created a worldwide hit in this joyful, luscious production.”

The Australian Ballet’s production of Alice won the 2018 Helpmann Award for Best Ballet and was nominated in five other categories, including Best Choreography, Best Scenic Design and Best Male and Female Dancer.

This family favourite will be The Australian Ballet’s farewell season at the State Theatre before it closes for renovations until 2027, and the company temporarily relocates to Melbourne’s historic Regent Theatre.

Alice is coming to the State Theatre in Melbourne, 15 to 26 March, 2024 and the Capitol Theatre in Sydney 20 February to 5 March 2024, to take ballet lovers of all ages down the rabbit hole and into its magically madcap world. Click here to book now.
