We are proud to open our 90th Anniversary Season with a brand new production that reflects both our history and artistic vision. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s beloved tale, Hansel & Gretel will be rich in theatrical magic and visual detail, combining storytelling, original choreography and an evocative new score.

This bold new work will honour Ballet Theatre Queensland’s rich history of storytelling, while embracing the creativity and ambition that continue to shape our future. It will also offer an exceptional opportunity for young artists to originate roles in a world premiere, developing their artistry through the creation of new work. A fitting and spectacular beginning to this milestone year, Hansel & Gretel will premiere at QPAC in Brisbane in January 2027.

As well as Brisbane dancers, we are also excited to welcome regional dancers to audition, via video submission.
