If you’re wondering what to do this weekend, worry not. Whether you’re in the mood for theatre, dance, visual art or music, here’s a selection of the best concerts, performances and exhibitions taking place across Australia.

The Australian Ballet
The Sleeping Beauty
Sydney Opera House, Joan Sutherland Theatre

This glorious, opulent fairytale extravaganza is not only jaw droppingly luxuriant, it’s also some of the finest ballet in all the kingdom. This is artistic director David McAllister’s first full length work for his company and it is a triumph of classical ballet perfection.

Sydney Theatre Company
King Lear
Roslyn Packer Theatre

Starring Australian acting royalty Geoffrey Rush, this cerebral take on Shakespeare’s most troubled monarch is as beautiful as it is profound. Directed by Neil Armfield, this production is breathtaking in its almost cosmic scale, but also intensely intimate.
