Red Riding Hood and The Wolf

Just in time for the winter school holidays, Queensland Ballet is set to enchant young audiences with Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, a brand-new whimsical production coming to the Thomas Dixon Centre from 26 June to 4 July.

Step into a world of imagination, adventure, and delight, where ballet becomes a magical first experience for young audiences!

In this playful new retelling by choreographer Paul Boyd, lively and curious Rosemary Redhood tumbles into a dream that whisks her away on a vibrant, laugh-filled adventure. Along the way, she meets a cast of quirky characters, faces unexpected twists, and discovers that even the strangest moments can be full of wonder.

Gone is the frightening wolf — here, he’s cheeky, puzzling, and just a little bit mysterious, adding intrigue without the fright. It’s a story designed to spark giggles, curiosity, and wide-eyed amazement.

Set against the charm of 1950s Brisbane, this enchanting production celebrates local architecture, lush flora, and native birdlife, bringing a familiar world to life in a wholly magical way.

Created especially for young families, this My First Ballet experience is gently guided by narration, making it easy to follow and deeply engaging —perfect for little ones taking their very first step into the world of dance.
