Winter Season | Royal New Zealand Ballet

Join us this winter for a mesmerizing programme of three works that pays homage to the rich heritage of the Royal New Zealand Ballet and celebrates the extraordinary contributions of artists, both past and present.

At the heart of this event is the New Zealand premiere of Sir Frederick Ashton’s Birthday Offering, a centenary tribute to the talented Southland-born ballerinaRowena Jackson, and part of the Ashton Worldwide initiative (2024–8).

Completing the lineup are two captivating performances created especially for the RNZB:
-Sarah Foster-Sproull’s Ultra Folly, bursting with exuberance and inspired by the rhythmic energy of La Folia.

• Andrea Schermoly’s Stand to Reason, a moving tribute to the women of Aotearoa and their enduring quest for equality.

Together, these pieces honor legacy, connection, and the timeless spirit of dance. 🎶Exclusive Offer: Book more than one show from our 2026 season with our ‘Subscribe and Save’ package and enjoy up to20% off your tickets! (Excludes Dazzlehands)
