About the RNZB

RNZB exists to enrich New Zealand communities and express who we are through ballet.

Since 1953 the Royal New Zealand Ballet (RNZB) has excited audiences and inspired communities across the length and breadth of New Zealand as well as internationally.

The company’s repertoire includes 19^th and 20^th century classics as well as many commissioned works, including those by New Zealand choreographers and telling New Zealand stories. RNZB Education presents a lively and inclusive programme of community and education activities throughout New Zealand, including working in prisons.

The RNZB is funded through the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Manatū Taonga, and through ticket sales, sponsorship, grants and personal donations.  For more information please follow this link: RNZB Strategic Plan 2025-2029.pdf*
