International Tour
WELCOME TO THE ROYAL
NEW ZEALAND BALLET’S
 SEASON—A YEAR
OF GREAT STORIES.
2015 marks a new chapter in the
life of New Zealand’s national
ballet company, as we welcome
new Artistic Director Francesco
Ventriglia to New Zealand.
The RNZB’s performing year will
begin in New Zealand, with a long
overdue return to our stages of
Don Quixote, first staged by Gary
Harris in 2008. This is a joyful
romp of a production, and one
which we know will be enjoyed
by all ages.
Our winter programme for 2015 is
Salute, a very special collaboration
with the New Zealand Army
Band as we pay tribute to New
Zealand’s wartime history in four
contemporary works, including
world premieres by Neil Ieremia
and Andrew Simmons, with
scores by Dwayne Bloomfield
and Gareth Farr. It will be an
honour to work alongside some
of New Zealand’s finest musicians
for this programme, and we are
delighted that the NZAB will be
performing live in all venues on
this tour.
To complete our New Zealand
season, an artistic coup that
already has the ballet world
buzzing: The Vodafone Season
of A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
a new full length ballet by Liam
Scarlett, music by Mendelssohn
and designed by Tracy Grant Lord.
The RNZB’s year will end in the
UK, with performances in
prestigious venues in England
and Scotland.
We would like to acknowledge the
generous investment made in our
work by the Ministry for Culture
and Heritage, Te Manatū Taonga,
our National Sponsor Vodafone,
the Lottery World War One
Commemorations, Environment
and Heritage Committee,
Pub Charity, The Lion Foundation
and the ASB Community Trust,
together with that of our many
other sponsors, funders and
personal supporters, including
the Friends of the RNZB. Thank
you all for your support of your
national ballet company—we look
forward to seeing you at the ballet
in 2015.

DON QUIXOTE
“Somewhere in La Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care
to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who
has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag
and a greyhound for racing…”*
So begins Miguel de Cervantes’
epic shaggy dog story Don
Quixote, which has intrigued and
delighted readers for the last four
hundred years—and inspired one
of the greatest works in the
classical ballet canon.
The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s
Don Quixote, first seen in 2008,
is a flirtatious delight, combining
virtuoso choreography with comic
flair in a spectacular staging that
will appeal to all ages.
Feisty lovers Kitri and Basilio and
their friends, take centre stage in
a sunny setting inspired by 1950s
Barcelona. The deluded Don
Quixote, who dreams of knightly
adventures, blunders into the
romance, almost losing his fortune
and his mind in the process… but
love conquers all, and the ballet
ends with a sumptuous wedding.

SALUTE
They went with songs to the battle, they were young
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.*
The Royal New Zealand Ballet
is honoured to collaborate with
the New Zealand Army Band
and distinguished New Zealand
composers and choreographers
Dwayne Bloomfield, Gareth Farr,
Neil Ieremia and Andrew Simmons,
in this special programme of
works to mark the centenary
of World War One.
Alongside classic pieces by Johan
Kobborg (Salute, New Zealand
premiere) and Jiří Kylián (Soldiers’
Mass, last memorably performed
by the RNZB in 1999), Neil Ieremia
and Andrew Simmons will create
two world premieres.
Neil Ieremia's work is inspired
by Warrant Oﬃcer Dwayne
Bloomfield’s tone poem
Passchendaele, premiered
by the New Zealand Army Band
on Anzac Day 2009. Andrew
Simmons, whose haunting works
for the RNZB, Through to You,
A Song in the Dark and Of Days
have made such an impression
*Laurence Binyon For the Fallen,
September 1914
on New Zealand and international
audiences, will return to New
Zealand to work with composer
Gareth Farr (The Wedding,
Smashing Sweet Vixen) on his
fourth commission for the RNZB.

will perform live in all venues

THE VODAFONE SEASON OF
A MIDSUMMER
NIGHT’S DREAM
“Never harm, nor spell, nor charm.
Come our lovely Lady nigh.
So good night with lullaby.”*
In an unprecedented artistic coup,
the Royal New Zealand Ballet is
thrilled that Liam Scarlett, one
of the most sought-after
choreographers working today,
will create his first full-length,
main stage production, for the
Royal New Zealand Ballet, in 2015.
a string of acclaimed ballets for
The Royal Ballet, and commissions
for international companies have
included works for New York City
Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Miami
City Ballet, English National Ballet,
K-Ballet (Japan) and the
BalletBoyz (UK).
A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
based on Shakespeare’s play and
with Mendelssohn’s wonderful
incidental music, will have its
world premiere in Wellington in
August 2015. Scarlett’s musical,
witty choreography, displayed
in designs by Tracy Grant Lord
(Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet)
and lighting by Kendall Smith
(Giselle) will bring Shakespeare’s
enchanted wood and vivid
characters, to fresh new life
for New Zealand audiences.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
is a co-production with
Queensland Ballet.
Liam Scarlett was appointed
The Royal Ballet’s first Artist in
Residence in 2012. He has created

INTERNATIONAL
TOUR
The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s
performances in the UK received
universal acclaim during the
company’s 2011 tour. We are
delighted to be returning to major
venues in London, Edinburgh
and Canterbury in October/
November 2015.
Central to the tour will be the
RNZB’s debut at the Royal Opera
House, Covent Garden, home of
The Royal Ballet. The company will
perform a programme of works
specially created for the RNZB by
New Zealand and international
choreographers during a week in
residence at Covent Garden’s
contemporary venue, the Linbury
Studio Theatre. In Edinburgh the
company will perform at the
Edinburgh Festival Theatre, and in
Canterbury the RNZB will present
a week of performances at the
Marlowe Theatre.
Repertoire for the tour will include
Ethan Stiefel and Johan Kobborg’s
landmark production of Giselle,
feted by audiences and critics in
China and the USA since its New
Zealand premiere in 2012, and a
mixed programme of contemporary
works, including Javier De Frutos’
The Anatomy of a Passing Cloud
(2013) and newly created works
from Salute.

AT PERFORMANCES
AT SCHOOLS
FOR DANCERS AND DANCE TEACHERS
FOR THE COMMUNITY
Look out for Warm Up, Curtain Up! events
(gold coin entry) before selected performances
and free Q&A sessions with dancers after
matinees. Dates for all centres are marked
in the performance listings on pages 20–22.
Distance is no barrier to participation in
RNZB education. RNZB educators work with
primary and secondary schools throughout
New Zealand, oﬀering tailor-made curriculumlinked workshops exploring choreography and
artistic themes from current RNZB productions.
Comprehensive resources, with DVD, are
available for NCEA Dance Levels 1, 2 and 3,
as well as free downloadable teacher’s classroom
resources (great for audience members too!)
for each production. Discounted tickets for RNZB
performances are available for school groups.
Aspiring dancers throughout New Zealand
have the opportunity to enhance their regular
dance lessons through open classes conducted
by RNZB artistic staﬀ, guest teachers and
company members. Special Ballet for Boys
classes give male dance students the chance
to work alongside other male dancers—a rare
opportunity in New Zealand. Dedicated students
may also apply to be a part of the RNZB’s
nationwide mentor programme, which pairs
students with company members for regular
advice and support via email and a special day
behind the scenes at the RNZB in Wellington.
Keep an eye out for special events—
a chance to see dancers, costumes and
backstage secrets, in venues outside the
RNZB’s regular touring programme.
Pre-season forums for Don Quixote, Salute and
The Vodafone Season of A Midsummer Night’s
Dream are planned for 2015. Look out for dates
and details on rnzb.org.nz, in the RNZB’s monthly
e-newsletter and on the RNZB’s Facebook page.
As a new initiative for 2015, the RNZB will
oﬀer a professional development programme
for dance teachers, including the opportunity
to observe company class, attend an informal
lecture and discuss best practice with
members of the RNZB’s artistic staﬀ.
More information about the RNZB’s education
programme, including dates for events and
online booking for open classes, can be found
at rnzb.org.nz/education—and you can also
sign up for education e-newsletters to ensure
that you or your students never miss out.
Reminders about booking for open classes,
Warm Up, Curtain Up! and Q&A sessions are
also posted on the RNZB’s Facebook page.
