On 2 November 1962, The Australian Ballet staged its very first performance at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Sydney. Over the next five decades, hundreds of dancers, choreographers, designers, teachers, composers, costumiers and a passionate supporting cast would make the company what it is today.

The timeline website captures 50 years of the company through photos, videos, and stories from the people who were there.
