MACBETH: Presented by the Royal New Zealand BalletFriday 13 March, 2026 @ 7:30pm
Saturday 14 March, 2026 @ 1:30pm
A bold and bloody re-telling of Macbeth marks the start of the RNZB’s 2026 season, bringing this most visceral of tragedies to the stage in an explosion of high-octane contemporary ballet.
Choreographer Alice Topp (Aurum, Logos, High Tide) brings naked ambition, political power and transgression to the fore in this new, original staging, propelling Shakespeare’s iconic characters into a shadowy world of manipulation by media, boardroom intrigue and sudden violence. as the Macbeths emerge as a dazzling new power couple, triumphantly atop a glamorous social set, the view from the top is dizzying – and the fall vertiginous.
Please note: This production contains mature themes and depictions of violence and drug use. We recommend an audience of 14 and up.
