Hamlet

About

By popular demand, Leo Mujić’s Hamlet returns to Brisbane for an encore season following its acclaimed Australian premiere by Queensland Ballet in 2026. 

Audiences were captivated by this bold and emotionally charged interpretation of Shakespeare’s enduring tragedy. Set to sweeping music by Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saëns, this gripping dance drama transforms one of literature’s greatest stories into an unforgettable theatrical experience. Classical ballet technique meets visceral storytelling as Prince Hamlet navigates a world of grief, betrayal, revenge and moral uncertainty. 

Driven by powerful ensemble choreography and compelling performances, Hamlet reveals the emotional intensity at the heart of Shakespeare’s masterpiece. Richly atmospheric and astonishingly human, it is a ballet that speaks as powerfully today as it has for generations. 

_{The recorded music of Hamlet is engineered using the highest quality sound and features the Russian National Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Malmö Symphony Orchestra, and Queensland Symphony Orchestra.}
