Choreographed by Tony winner Christopher Wheeldon and performed by The Australian Ballet under David Hallberg's artistic direction in its first major New York engagement since 2012, this "groundbreaking" (The New York Times) new work brings to life the tragic and romantic story of Oscar Wilde. The first full-length narrative ballet to center gay relationships, Oscar intertwines Wilde's memories with his tales The Nightingale and the Rose and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
