The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s (RNZB) popular Tutus on Tour returns in February 2025, marking the start of a brand-new year of exciting ballet. Dance lovers of all ages across the country will be able to experience two show-stopping classical duets plus stunning contemporary works brilliantly performed by the stars of our national ballet company.
This highly anticipated annual tour, in association with Ryman Healthcare, sees the RNZB perform at a series of intimate local venues, giving ballet fans the opportunity to experience up close the exquisite costumes and world-class ballet technique of our leading dancers.
Tutus on Tour 2025 will include two stunning pas de deux: the elegant and sophisticated Grand Pas Classique, and the charming Wedding pas de deux from Act III of Coppélia.
Each performance will also include the exciting stage premiere of Limerence, a work for four dancers to music by Schubert, by former RNZB dancer Annaliese Macdonald. Limerence was originally created for the Ballet Bites digital season in 2022 and has now been reworked for live performances.
Completing the lineup will be The Way Alone, a neoclassical work by Australian choreographer Stephen Baynes to music by Tchaikovsky, created for Hong Kong Ballet in 2006 and now seen in New Zealand for the first time.
