Burn the Floor - Fire in the Ballroom Australia Tour


Recognised worldwide for their high performance standard, and as the “rebels of the ballroom” BURN THE FLOOR is heading back to Australia with their stunning new production “Fire in the Ballroom”.

The tour will showcase their latest work, crafted over the past two years, with brand new music, elaborate sets, and costumes designed by the famous Rome theatrical company D’inzillo, combined with the ground breaking choreography of Jason Gilkison and Peta Roby.


Already staged to rapturous European and American audiences, this show pushes the boundaries of dance to new and dizzy heights, adding a “Rock Opera” angle, and breaking all the rules.
With their champion dancers on stage BURN THE FLOOR creates the “ultimate high voltage theatrical experience”.

Years before Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance turned ballroom dancing into must-see TV, BURN THE FLOOR was setting stages ablaze around the globe.

Their debut in London in 1999 has been credited as reinventing the Ballroom style and starting a new fashion trend that enabled reality TV to showcase Ballroom and Latin dancing to the masses.

BURN THE FLOOR have toured the world for 16 years, over 300 cities, performing seasons on Broadway and the West End.

Turandot - Opera at the Sydney Opera House 2015

Turandot - Opera at the Sydney Opera House 2015

Showing: 24 JUNE 2015– 28 AUGUST 2015

As the moon rises, a death cry wails through imperial Peking. Torture and death mean nothing. Freedom from possession means everything. Will the Princess win again?

You've heard the hit, 'Nessun dorma'. Now see the opera: an exotic adventure of poetry and myth, set in a world where fear and love go hand in hand and death is always just around the corner.

After astounding audiences in last year's Tosca, Yonghoon Lee will sing that glorious aria as Calaf, with Lise Lindstrom, the most famous Turandot of our time. Christian Badea returns to Australia to conduct following his success with Otello.

Truthfully, few of the millions of people who watched that broadcast had an inkling of what the power of that music can be. Few had seen Turandot – Puccini’s opera about a brutal princess and an impossibly brave suitor, who will make any sacrifice to win her love.

Turandot is a fantasy opera of poetry and myth, set in an exotic world where fear and love go hand in hand and death is always just around the corner. ‘Nessun dorma’ is just one of its magnificent moments.

After astounding audiences in last year’s Tosca, Yonghoon Lee will sing that glorious aria as Calaf, with Lise Lindstrom, the most famous Turandot of our time.
