Synopsis
The wait is over! After 21 years since their last visit to Singapore, one of the world’s greatest ballet companies, The Royal Ballet, returns in June 2026 with The Royal Ballet Gala.
This is not an ordinary ballet gala—specially produced and performed by The Royal Ballet itself, this gala’s dazzling programme of classical and contemporary works showcases the full creative range of the Company’s repertory, brought to life by the extraordinary virtuosity and artistry of its celebrated dancers.
Led by Director Kevin O’Hare, The Royal Ballet’s illustrious reputation centres on its theatrical brilliance and versatility, embracing both tradition and innovation, which will be reflected in the gala’s mix of 19th century classical ballet excerpts such as Swan Lake and works by the Company’s associated choreographers past and present, including Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, Wayne McGregor and Christopher Wheeldon.
This Gala will be especially curated for Singapore audiences and will include over 30 dancers from The Royal Ballet, including the following principals:
-
Matthew Ball
-
Cesar Corrales
-
Melissa Hamilton
-
Ryoichi Hirano
-
Fumi Kaneko
-
Vadim Muntagirov
-
Marianela Nuñez
Don’t miss this opportunity to see The Royal Ballet live in Singapore!
The Royal Ballet Gala is presented as part of da:ns focus – Ballet by the Bay, a ballet lovers’ weekend of classics and neo-classical works.
Note: All dancers are scheduled to perform in all four shows. Each show’s programme is the same, however, dancers may be cast in different roles. Please note that programmes and casting are subject to change without prior notice due to illness or injury.
