Queensland Ballet’s 2026 season will bring a program of major productions and new work to two Brisbane venues, giving Wynnum-Manly residents another city-based cultural option to consider when planning an evening or weekend outing.
The season is the company’s first curated under artistic director Ivan Gil-Ortega and is built around the idea of connection across generations, disciplines and cultures. Performances will be presented at QPAC and the Thomas Dixon Centre.
The announced program includes Messa da Requiem, a Strings Triple Bill bringing together three distinct works, and a world-premiere reimagining of The Nutcracker. The new Nutcracker production is being reimagined by Derek Deane, who created Strictly Gershwin, with sets and costumes by Lez Brotherston.
Queensland Ballet describes the season as combining epic masterpieces, contemporary creations and familiar classics. It may appeal both to regular ballet audiences and to people looking for a broader Brisbane arts experience from the bayside.
Specific performance dates, times, ticket prices and production-by-production booking details are not included in the available season overview. Residents should check the Queensland Ballet 2026 season information before making plans.
