The Australian Ballet’s 2015 season was ‘ambitious’ and ‘exciting’ said Executive Director, Libby Christie, at the company’s program launch in Melbourne on Tuesday.

‘It’s the first year of our new five-year plan, which is all about growth. We’re committed to bringing more ballet to more people in Australia and around the world as part of this plan … There will be more live performances, we’ll have new programs, and a range of digital initiatives to support this plan,’ Christie said.
