The Australian Ballet have brought their iconic production of Don Quixote, choreographed by and originally starring Rudolf Nureyev, back to the stage. Nureyev's production became a film in 1973 which has inspired new designs by one of our most venerable stage designers, Richard Roberts.Also, Richard Wagner's epic four-opera Ring Cycle comes to regional Australia for the very first time and includes a concert held in a gold mine, and we meet 'the mother of African contemporary dance,' Germaine Acogny, the co-founder of the famous Ecole des Sables in Senegal.
