Doors open at 6pm.

Founded in 1985 by maverick French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj, Ballet Preljocaj last wowed audiences in Queensland in 2016 with the sellout season of Snow White at QPAC and is world renowned for warping the experience of ballet.
Preljocaj’s Swan Lake is a dystopian juxtaposition of corporate greed – in which Siegfried is the son of a wealthy property developer – and the pristine environment of the swans, which sees Odette and the Prince as eco-warriors battling the fossil-fueled industrialist Rothbart.
The QPAC International Series is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.
