Win a VIP Experience to see The Piano: the ballet

This Autumn, be swept away by the World Premiere production of The Piano: the ballet, a new dance work for the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Inspired by the film The Piano with permission kindly granted by Jane Campion, Jan Chapman and Saddleback Productions.
25 years ago, cinema goers around the world were captivated by an extraordinary tale of desire, violence and hope. The story of Ada McGrath and her daughter Flora, husband Alastair and lover Baines unfolded against the wild grandeur and desolation of Aotearoa, as Jane Campion’s award-winning film took audiences on a visceral journey into New Zealand’s imagined past, as it had never been portrayed before.
Drawing on the rich inspiration of The Piano, the Royal New Zealand Ballet is honoured to stage the world premiere of this new full-length dance work by Ji?í Bubení?ek. Originally conceived as a short work for Dortmund Ballet, The Piano: the ballet is now re-imagined and expanded for the RNZB, giving Ada’s story a new and distinctively New Zealand voice and, in dance, a powerful new means of expression. Excerpts from Michael Nyman’s iconic film score are blended with evocative music by Debussy, Arensky, Stravinsky, Schnittke, Brahms and Shostakovich.
Presented in association with the New Zealand Festival and the Auckland Arts Festival.
The Piano: the ballet contains adult content including depictions of violence and sex. This production is not recommended for children under the age of 12 years.
Register below and share your memory of first seeing the film ‘The Piano’ and you could win a VIP weekend to Auckland including tickets to The Piano: the ballet, flights, 2 night's of accommodation, dinner, plus tickets to OrpHeus- a Dance Opera at the Auckland Festival!
