Description

After several years of delays, the Ballett Zürich production of Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem will feature at this year's Adelaide Festival. Brought to life by 36 dancers and over 170 singers performing with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, we meet the show's award-winning choreographer Christian Spuck.

Also, the oldest theatre on mainland Australia hosts a thoroughly modern makeover of Hansel and Gretel written by Lally Katz, and Australian Dance Theatre Artistic Director Daniel Riley pays tribute to his great-great uncle Alec Riley in Tracker, a co-production with Ilbijerri Theatre Company co-written by Ursula Yovich.
