Platinum

Shaun has been commissioned by RNZB to create the finale piece Prismatic in celebration of its 70th anniversary, performed at RNZB’s Platinum Gala on 13 October 2023 and set to the music of Johannes Brahms.

To mark our 70th birthday, the Royal New Zealand Ballet is delighted to present Platinum, a celebratory evening of ballet, on Friday 13 October, including excerpts from favourite works spanning 70 years.

For one night only at the St James Theatre, see the full company onstage in highlights from Flower Festival at Genzano, Swan Lake, Giselle Act II, The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, Romeo & Juliet, Don Quixote and La Sylphide, plus RNZB favourites FrENZy, Stand To Reason and a new work by Choreographer in Residence Shaun James Kelly inspired by Russell Kerr’s landmark ballet, Prismatic Variations.
