Victorian State Ballet: Beauty and The Beast

A full-length classical ballet production of the traditional tale, Beauty and The Beast is one of the world’s most loved classics. 

Following Victorian State Ballet's sell-out seasons since its Australian Premier in 2018, we are proud to present this tale as old as time in an original ballet version, to audiences in 2025. 

Within spectacular classical ballet choreographies, our version seeks to retell this magical story and to draw the audience right inside the spellbinding moments, transporting through to the very moving transformation, grand waltz and happily-ever-after final scenes. 

Victorian State Ballet's unique ballet version creates a fresh touch while maintaining true to the essence of the original storyline. Highlighting the characters in the story through beautiful classical ballet is a compelling feature of this production suitable to all ages.

“The narrative as it unfolds is easy to follow, and the performances by Victorian State Ballet’s dancers were fresh and engaging. Michelle Cassar de Sierra’s choreography is full of movement and vigour, richly colourful and vivid” - Dance Australia
