“Nicolette Fraillon’s mastery as a ballet conductor is a joy”
Nicolette Fraillon
30 years of international professional experience as a conductor, instrumentalist and educator in 15 countries around the world
“...Nicolette Fraillon’s fantastic conducting was a true highlight. Her mastery as a ballet conductor is a joy, with the orchestra breathing with the dancers and bringing the light and shadow to Adolphe Adam’s famous score. (Giselle review 2019)”
“The audience knew it was about to witness something special, as soon as the opening chords of the Entr’acte to Act Three of Raymonda were heard. This sparkling rendition by the Opera Australia Orchestra under conductor Nicolette Fraillon set the tone for an evening of high-octane, precision dancing, as David Hallberg unveiled his third program as Artistic Director of the Australian Ballet.”
“A final tribute must go to the orchestra, conducted by Nicolette Fraillon (until recently the chief conductor of Australian ballet), giving outstanding performances of Schubert’s String Quartet in C, Tchaikovsky’s gorgeous third symphony and the Richter pieces. (Norwegian National Ballet 2024)”
