British Liaisons


Dramatic. Romantic. Deadly.

"Heart-stopping"
The Australian on After the Rain©

"Lyrical and sensuous"
The Australian on Concerto

This August, The Australian Ballet brings together three generations to celebrate its British beginnings. From the savage to the sublime, British Liaisons is a diverse triple bill showcasing the very best Britain has to offer.

The program features Concerto, a modern classic combining rigorous dance with undeniable wit; Checkmate, a cut throat spectacle of sharp choreography, in which kings, queens and pawns battle to the death; and Christopher Wheeldon’s 21st-century masterpiece After the Rain©, an unspoken love affair consummated on stage.

Don’t miss this exhilarating encounter with Britain’s best!
