This year’s Ballet Under the Stars will be a free event staged at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith on Friday 5 November 2016, and will include a special excerpt performance from the sold-out Sydney season of Stephen Baynes’ Swan Lake.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said the event has been secured for Western Sydney for the next three years through the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
“Performed against the backdrop of Penrith Lakes and the surrounding parklands, Ballet Under the Stars will be a spectacular cultural event that will attract overnight visitors and showcase the Penrith region,” Mr Ayres said.
“This community performance is a major highlight of The Australian Ballet’s annual calendar and will be a major drawcard for visitors who are expected to inject over $1.3 million into the local visitor economy during the next three years.”
Executive Director of The Australian Ballet Libby Christie said “Our free community outdoor performance is a highlight of the company’s yearly program, enabling people of all ages to experience world-class ballet, some for the first time.”
