CIRCA’S DUCK POND ARRIVES AT THE PRINCESS THEATRE MELBOURNE 14 – 25 January 2026
Circa has today announced the Melbourne season of its genre-defying spectacle Duck Pond, following a sold-out season at London’s Royal Festival Hall and a recently announced season at the Sydney Opera House.
Playing at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre from 14 January 2026, this mesmerising reimagining of Swan Lake and The Ugly Duckling unites classical ballet with contemporary circus in a breathtaking collision of artistry, acrobatics, and cheeky humour.
Tickets are on sale from Thursday 4 September 10am via duckpondmelbourne.com.au
Created by Artistic Director and CEO Yaron Lifschitz, the 2025 recipient of the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA) Distinguished Artist Award, Duck Pond unites the romance and beauty of classical ballet with the daring spectacle of contemporary circus. With its soaring aerial artistry, masterful acrobatics, and the unrivalled skill of Circa’s ensemble, this extraordinary production is not to be missed.
As Australia’s most globally active performing arts company, Circa has captivated more than two million people across 45 countries and six continents. The Brisbane-based company has forged a distinguished reputation as elite and emotive performers, redefining expectations of circus as an art form.
Duck Pond is playing at the Sydney Opera House from 9 January and Melbourne’s Princess Theatre from 14 January 2026.
