The work of internationally-acclaimed artist Michael Zavros will be elegantly fused with the art of dance and live music in Soirée – a dazzling new performance by the Queensland Ballet Academy.

Renowned for his work depicting objects of fashion, beauty and grandeur in hyper-realism style, Zavros is a leading Australian artist with pieces held in numerous public and private collections, including The National Gallery of Australia and Queensland Art Gallery. Soirée blends his stunning art with original neo-classical and contemporary choreography by Paul Boyd and Natalie Weir, performed by Queensland Ballet Academy’s Pre-Professional Program dancers to live music onstage by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra.

This standout season also includes the Academy’s Grand Défilé, showcasing seven levels of our students onstage in a beautiful presentation, as well as selected choreographic works by the Pre-Professional Program dancers.

Presented at the Talbot Theatre, Thomas Dixon Centre, this event promises an extraordinary showcase of Australian art, Australian choreographers, and Australia’s emerging dance talent in what has become a highlight of the Brisbane arts scene.
