Act 1: 1962 - 1979
Australia's fever for ballet began in the early 20th century with the arrival of Anna Pavlova, and later, the Ballet Russes, who enraptured audiences and galvanised Australia's first ballet company - the Borovansky Ballet.
Act 2: 1980 - 1999
Come the 1980s, the Australian economy was booming. It was a time of excess and consumption, and The Australian Ballet's audience was broader than ever before.
Act 3: 2000 - 2020
The Australian Ballet entered the new millennium with a bold creative appointment. Fresh from the dancer's ranks and with no leadership experience, David McAllister took over from Ross Stretton as Artistic Director in 2001.
