This year, the Royal New Zealand Ballet soars into another world of ballet adventures. From the cosmic wonder of The Firebird to the gentle sparkle of The Nutcracker, here's what’s coming up for 2025.
24 July – 09 August
Home, Land and Sea presents three intriguing ballets inspired by journeys in unknown seas and exploring what it means to come home. Created by Moss Te Ururangi Patterson, Home, Land and Sea was crafted for six dancers from the RNZB and six from the New Zealand Dance Company.
30 October – 20 December
One of the world’s most beloved ballet classics, The Nutcracker, returns for summer 2025. A timeless celebration of Christmas, family, fantasy and growing up. This year’s performance will have a uniquely Kiwi touch, evoking the nostalgia of childhood holidays at the beach, the snowy Southern Alps and a fairytale Kingdom of the Sweets.
We’re proud to support RNZB artist Callahan Laird, who grew up in Ōtautahi Christchurch, trained at the New Zealand School of Dance and joined the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2020. You can see him performing with RNZB in Wellington, Auckland, and Christchurch in the upcoming “Home, Land and Sea". Make sure to check out Callahan's showreel below.

We strongly advise Members to only purchase tickets through authorised agencies.
