South Morang residents will celebrate their new online broadband status with a major event next month.
Telstra Country Wide will sponsor the Australian Ballet’s regional touring group, The Dancers Company, to perform at Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre on Friday, August 1.
Two guest artists from the national company will join graduating students from the Australian Ballet School to perform two favourites – Paquita and Swan Lake Act III – as well as a newly created work, Rimbombo.
Telstra Country Wide’s north-east general manager, Ingrid Harvey, said The Dancers Company had been bringing classical favourites to regional centres for more than a decade.
“This year we’re celebrating 30 years of partnership between Telstra and the Australian Ballet and we’re extremely proud to be supporting the tour to help bring world-class ballet to South Morang and other regional areas across the country,” Ms Harvey said.
The performances will be headlined by coryphée Christopher Rodgers-Wilson, who last year won the prestigious Telstra Ballet Dancer Award, and senior artist Miwako Kubota, who has toured Japan, New Zealand, China, London and New York with the company.
This year is momentous for The Dancers Company, marking the Australian Ballet School’s 50th anniversary.
