Description The Australian Ballet brings together a strong and entertaining triple bill to conclude its major Sydney season for 1992: an idyll or irreproachable sentimentality,
a spiky allegory of political power-play and the funniest work in its repertoire. Greatest interest is focused on the Sydney premiere of Stanton Welch's tribute to his mother, Marilyn Jones, who appears as herself in Welch's tender depiction of the bond between mother and child, Of Blessed Memory.
