Classical Triple Bill 2008 Tour
Les Sylphides
Graduation Ball
The Sleeping Beauty Act 3 - Aurora's Wedding
In 2008 The Dancers Company is delighted to present three magnificent classical works. Mikhail Fokine's, Les Sylphides is considered by many as the perfect blending of movement and music. Les Sylphide evokes the atmosphere and the style of the Romantic Era of the 19th Century. Set to gorgeous music by Frederic Choplin, its dreamy moonlit sets, beautiful white romantic tutus and sublime classical technique make it for romance at its very best. Graduation Ball by David Lichine is a traditional work of a great charm. The setting is a girl's school in Vienna. Preparations are underway for a party marking the end of the school year and the local military academy has been invited. A cheeky and humourous ballet, it is the story of boy meets girl - and an extremely prudish headmistress! The ballet is staged to music by popular composer Joan Strauss.

Do you think that 500 000 Australian women could be wrong? We don't think so. After all, that is the number who have seen this hilarious show over the last two and a half years. And they love it! So much so, many of the audience members have come back time and time again to join with their sisters in this 90 minute, one act laugh-a-thon. Maybe the attraction is the songs that everyone grew up with - The Great Pretender, Only You,The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Stand by Your Man, I Will Survive and twenty more - all sung with gusto and with their 'new' lyrics. Or maybe it is the realisation that there is a wonderful life waiting after 'The Change'. Come and see for yourself. We guarantee that you will leave the theatre uplifted and joyous.
