A world premiere ignites RNZB’s 2026 season. Macbeth transforms Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy into a gripping ballet set in a modern arena of boardroom intrigue, public image and political power.

This high-impact production is driven by visceral choreography and a powerful original score, supported live by a New Zealand Symphony Orchestra string ensemble. Secure your seats |
