Moscow Ballet 'La Classique' - The Nutcracker
Thursday 17 May - 7:30pm
Presented by: Grand International Concerts
Ltd
Following 2017 sell-out performances of Swan Lake, Moscow Ballet
La Classique returns to New Zealand to present the jewel of
classical ballet, Tchaikovsky’s spectacular masterpiece THE
NUTCRACKER.
La Classique was founded in 1990 by its current director Elik
Melikov.
La Classique with its artistic ballet mastery, lavish costumes
and magnificent stage sets will take us on a journey back in time
to the frost-covered, gas lit world of Clara, her beloved
nutcracker doll and the magician Drosselmeyer.
This romantic tale with its blend of magic and realism brings to
life the popular Tchaikovsky score featuring the
famous “Dance of the Sugar
Plum Fairy” and “The Waltz of the Flowers.”
The greatest success of Russian Theatre is undoubtedly classical
ballet with this delightful production of the much loved
Nutcracker, La Classique captures the imagination, the passion,
the humour and magic of the ballet.
Box office opens 6:30pm
Doors open 7:00pm

May & June 2018
Heath Franklin's Chopper
Thursday 31 May and Friday 1 June - 7:30pm
Presented by: Laughing Stock Productions
In the beginning, God created the moustache...and it was good.
Then he took the next 6 days off, because when you've nailed it,
treat yourself to a lie-down.
The world has had religion ever since God was in nappies, and
what have we got to show for it: wars, terrorist attacks and
Christian rock. It's time religion took a hard look at itself, so
Chopper is starting his own one, in his own image and giving hell
to the almighty.
Are you sick, lonely or poor? Well, there are plenty of other
churches for you. Chopper is looking for rich idiots to tithe the
crap out of; but really, any sinner will do.
There is a new 'mo-ssiah' for a new age and he's holier than
Oscar Pistorius' bathroom door.
Thou shalt harden up and become a Chopostle! So gather round and
be healed by Bogan Jesus!
