A Swashbuckling Family Adventure

Peter Pan is a fantasy-filled, swashbuckling adventure for the young and the young at heart.

Join the Royal New Zealand Ballet as they bring James Barrie’s classic tale to life. Journey from the Darling family’s nursery to Neverland – home to Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys and the fierce Captain Hook.

A playful combination of theatre and classical ballet, the Royal New Zealand Ballet captures all the excitement and fun of this rip-snorting family favourite.

Leave the mundane behind and watch the whimsical world of make-believe unfold as Peter Pan flies through the window of the Darling nursery in search of his shadow. After teaching the children to fly with the help of a little fairy dust, they set out on an adventure like no other.

Choreographed by Russell Kerr and with picture book-inspired designs by the late Kristian Fredrikson, Peter Pan will captivate and enchant.

Peter Pan opens in Wellington on 30 October and tours to Invercargill, Dunedin, Christchurch, Palmerston North, Napier, Auckland, and Hamilton.

Choreography: Russell Kerr
Music: Philip Norman
Design: Kristian Fredrikson
