Tower Tutus On Tour : Royal New Zealand Ballet

The Kāpiti Coast District Council is delighted to support the visit of the Royal New Zealand Ballet to Southward Theatre, for one performance only, on Thursday 3 March, 7.30pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to see a fantastic performance right here in our own District. Take the family for a fun and fabulous night out!

The famous biennial Tower Tutus on Tour is all about families in 2011. Featuring two new works, the whimsical Pinocchio and a sparkling classical showpiece, Verdi Variations is the perfect occasion for young and old to enjoy together.

Pinocchio
The antics of Pinocchio, Geppetto and friends come to life as the Royal New Zealand Ballet presents a fun, traditional story-ballet for the whole family. Written in 1883, the tale of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who yearns to be a real boy, continues to be adored by children around the world. As he stumbles his way through life, will he ever be able to realise his dream?

Follow Pinocchio on his exciting adventures as he encounters the evil Fox and Cat, Strombolli’s travelling puppet show, the Blue Fairy and a giant whale. It’s a rollicking ride – one that you’ll never forget!

Verdi Variations
A classical ballet lover’s dream come true, Verdi Variations promises to be a stunningly grand showpiece peppered with dramatic solos and dazzling duets, complete with exquisitely made tutus and tiaras.

With choreography and design by in-house dream team Greg Horsman and Gary Harris, the piece pays homage to classical Russian ballet and its poise and grace. Verdi Variations will be breathtakingly beautiful.
