One of the world’s greatest ballerinas, Sylvie Guillem, will be performing her final Australian shows in August, before she slips into her well earned retirement.
Guillem has been in the ballet spotlight for over 35 years. She has taken on each of the leading roles of the classical repertoire with the world’s leading ballet companies. Her compelling performances have seen her pick up an Olivier award, a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement by the Venice Biennale, the Officier de la Légion d’Honneur, Commandeur dans l’Ordre National du Mérite, Officier des Arts et Lettres, and, in Britain, an honorary CBE.
Sylvie’s farewell tour is certain to enchant her audiences. Each of her six Australian performances will include a solo, duo and group performance.
It seems only fitting that a dancer as talented and graceful as Guillem should bid farewell on the stage of Australia’s premier performing space.
Life In Progress, Sylvie Guillem’s Final World Tour will be performed at the Sydney Opera House from Wednesday August 19 – Tuesday August 25.
