The Royal New Zealand Ballet's hugely popular Tutus on Tour will grace the stage at Baycourt this month.

Described as a 'tasting menu of ballet treats”, the show deliver rays of early summer sunshine to stages across the country from October 7.

Artistic director Patricia Barker has curated a gorgeous gala programme which showcases RNZB dancers at their very best.

Beloved classical favourites sit alongside more recent works, including one New Zealand premiere.

'It's been a while since we've been able to stop in at some of our regional theatres, something we normally all look forward to very much each year,” says Royal New Zealand Ballet artistic director Patricia Barker.

'This Tutus on Tour programme is a full, rich, exciting showcase of ballet from across the spectrum, and it is suitable for people of all ages.

'In fact, given the bite-sized nature of our Tutus on Tour programmes, we love welcoming younger ones to experience all kinds of ballet.”

Reintroduced in 2017, Tutus on Tour is a chance for ballet lovers young and old across the country to indulge their passion.

The enchanting summer programme will sell quickly, so it is recommended ticket buyers move quickly.

Tutus on Tour will return in February – March 2023, visiting additional venues from the Far North to the Deep South. Dates and details will be announced in October.
