We believe that seeing dance live can spark a lifelong love of the arts – so each year, we invite schools to experience that magic with discounted tickets to our performances. These special school shows feature a shorter version of the ballet, designed with young audiences in mind.

This year we are thrilled to be bringing school performances of our brand new production of The Nutcracker to theatres in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland.
