Australian Ballet Visits Performing Arts Center

The Australian Ballet dances at the Orange County Performing Arts Center through Sunday on its maiden visit to Southern California. The program includes both classical and contemporary works.

A full-length staging of “Giselle” will be paired with the U.S. premiere of a ballet by the young Australian dance maker Stephen Baynes through Friday.

The troupe will perform a mixed repertory during the the last two days of their stay. David Lichine’s “Graduation Ball,” Serge Lifar’s classical showpiece, “Suite en Blanc” and Jiri Kylian’s “Return to the Strange Land” will be included in the program.
