- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The winter brings a programme of three works celebrating the heritage of the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the contributions of outstanding artists from our past, present and future.

At its heart is the New Zealand premiere of Sir Frederick Ashton’s Birthday Offering, performed as a centenary tribute to Southland-born ballerina Rowena Jackson and as part of Ashton Worldwide 2024–8. Completing the programme are two works created for the RNZB: Sarah Foster-Sproull’s exuberant Ultra Folly, inspired by the rhythmic energy of La Folia, and Andrea Schermoly’s Stand to Reason, a powerful tribute to the women of Aotearoa and the enduring fight for equality. Together, these three works honour legacy, connection and the timeless spirit of dance.
