Last Fringe Festival, the
Wet Hot Beauties presented the first water ballet in New Zealand in over fifty years. This summer they're back.
Following on from their 2011 sell out success
'Sirens', the
Wet Hot Beauties present
'Swan Song', a fantastical Swan Lake/Baz Luhrmann-inspired water ballet mash up with our trademark cheeky modern twist.
Over 100 tutus flock to the water in a romantic and epic tale of star crossed lovers, dark magic and water fowl at the historic Parnell Baths. A hilarious water dance party with rocking great moves, this is Auckland's most popular pool-side night-time spectacular.
Featuring an eclectic and dynamic sound track including
Tchaikovsky, Shirley Bassey, Calvin Harris, Florence + the Machine, Fat Boy Slim and
Whitney Houston.
Classical ballet just got all pool party on it.
Book now. Will sell out.
'Swan Song' is created by
Pip Hall, Judy Dale, Lara Fischel-Chisholm and the
Wet Hot Beauties.
Please note:
GA seating with some balcony standing.
This is a rain or shine outdoor event.
Limited parking on Judges Bay Road.
