About FAB
Welcome to the Friends of The Australian Ballet (NSW).
We are a not-for-profit fundraising organisation, established principally to offer support to The Australian Ballet and The Australian Ballet School both of which are located in Melbourne.
The Australian Ballet has four Sydney seasons per year which is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a group and celebrate their wonderful work!
The Friends bring together lovers of ballet and dance from all walks of life to meet and share in the enjoyment of like minded people. We encourage and hope to develop a deeper understanding and knowledge of this beautiful artform through our fundraising functions and events and our relationship with the Ballet and the Ballet School.
