Overnight we have received advice from the American Ballet Theatre that due to a recurring foot injury requiring surgery, American Ballet Theatre (ABT) Principal Dancer David Hallberg will withdraw from upcoming performances with the Company this Fall, which includes his performances in the exclusive season here at QPAC.

The announcement was made by Kevin McKenzie, Artistic Director, in New York as per the attached media release.

Please also find attached the updated interactive calendar which includes the updates list of which Principal Dancers will be performing on which night. We would love you to share this updated version with your readers/listeners.

The exclusive season of the American Ballet Theatre is a part of the QPAC International Series, a joint initiative of QPAC and Tourism & Events Queensland to bring the world's finest performing arts companies exclusively to Brisbane. It is not only a way to share some of the world's greatest companies in the performing arts with Australian audiences but equally a way to engage in creative exchange between artistic communities from different countries. The ABT season is presented in association with the Brisbane Festival.

American Ballet Theatre takes to the QPAC stage from 28 August to 7 September 2014. Tickets are on sale now viawww.qpac.com.au or phone 136 246.
