Description: As one of the highlights of The Australian Ballet’s 2024 season, Christopher Wheeldon’s Oscar © will have its world premiere in Melbourne in September. This new production from arguably the most in-demand choreographer in the world today will include an array of 19th century costumes hand-made by the artisans and craftspeople of The Australian Ballet’s famed wardrobe department, a place where haute couture meets dance. This double experience, created exclusively for Qantas Loyalty Points Exclusives, is your opportunity to not only see world premiere ballet from some of the best seats in the house, but also join Qantas for an exclusive ‘behind the curtain’ evening in The Australian Ballet’s famed wardrobe department. Hosted by the Head of Wardrobe, Musette Molyneaux, the exclusive ‘behind the curtain’ evening will unlock the secrets of creation, showing you the process from initial designs through to the glittering final product. The experience will also include light catering and beverages. While American Ballet Theatre and Paris Opera Ballet – both regarded as some of the world's best ballet companies – now outsource their costuming, The Australian Ballet takes pride in the fact it has kept this craft and artisans in-house. This is your exclusive opportunity to see the magic behind the scenes, and see these world premiere costumes before they are unveiled to the world in September.
