About
Founded in 1953, the Royal New Zealand Ballet is a company of international dancers based in the heart of Wellington. With a broad repertoire for national and international audiences, our goal is to continue to build a style that is unique to our company and to Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our 2025 season is all about home, and what that means to us.
Our winter show, ‘Home, Land, and Sea’ marks the first time the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the New Zealand Dance Company will perform together on stages across the motu, in a celebration of identity, belonging, and what it means to come home.
In summer, we will be presenting a brand-new version of the beloved festive favourite ‘The Nutcracker’, with all the enchantment of the classic, but with a kiwi touch that incorporates the nostalgia of summer holidays in our unique part of the world.
We’d love for you to join us.
Firebird and My Brilliant Career
by Aitch on 14/05/2025Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre - AucklandRating: 5 out of 5Well 3rd time lucky....I finally saw Firebird having previously been thwarted by Covid and then the recent Wellington storm. Whilst it has been long awaited it was worth the wait and disappointment as it was truly wonderful. The lead ballerina's performance was absolutely stunning and the other dancers were fabulous too. Thank you to Ticketmaster for allowing me to change venue and for your assistance in securing a great seat. My view was clear of obstacles.
Exquisite Show
by Janelle on 12/05/2025Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre - AucklandRating: 5 out of 5Thoroughly enjoyed Firebird. It was exactly what I expected and more. Highly recommend it!
Firebird, Auckland
by GCMO on 11/05/2025Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre - AucklandRating: 5 out of 5This ballet was absolutely spell binding. Stravinsky's ballet music played live is always a winner. Thus the music and choreography merged dynamically intensifying the story line with a sensuous, powerful and emotionally drenched stage presence. This was further enhanced by the beautiful costume designs for the Firebird. The stage visual effects added spectacularly to the theme through colour, textures, images and height. All the imagery added to the drama particularly to the lead dancers, which enabled them to highlight the intense power and dedication of the Firebird to achieve her goal. Her sheer determination to survival in the face of the impending doom was riveting. Congratulations to everyone involved in this production.
Exceeded expectations
by Annie on 10/05/2025Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre - AucklandRating: 5 out of 5I have not been to an RNZ ballet production for many years, after enjoying many different top European ballet companies. I was thoroughly impressed, with the calibre of dancing. Choreography and lighting effects were also very stylish, creative and unique. Its so wonderful to see so many good male dancers appearing.
Absolutely Sublime
