The Silver Rose
Dance
9 - 29 April 2010
Information
An Australian premiere from Graeme Murphy.
Choreographic legend Graeme Murphy returns to The Australian Ballet stage in 2010 with a dazzling new full-length work. Based loosely on The Rose Cavalier, The Silver Rose is a ballet of romantic intrigue and love gone wrong. The Marschallin, an actress, is still very beautiful but fears her lover might fall for a younger woman. Inevitably he does. Against spectacular Art Nouveau sets, the cast tie each other in romantic knots. It seems in turn-of-last-century Vienna, love is a dangerous game. With music by Australian composer Carl Vine, The Silver Rose is set to be Murphy's sell-out success of 2010.
