Orchestra Victoria performs all Melbourne seasons with The Australian Ballet in the Arts Centre, State Theatre.

Founded in 1962, The Australian Ballet is one of Australia's flagship arts companies, and one of the busiest ballet companies in the world.

Each year, it presents approximately 200 performances in cities and regional areas around Australia, in addition to regular international touring. All Melbourne performances are held at the Arts Centre, State Theatre.

The Australian Ballet's diverse repertoire reflects our vision: caring for tradition, daring to be different. Each year, we perform works from the classical repertoire as well as more contemporary works and commissions that explore the development and future of this dynamic artform.
