Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon is a co-production between The Hong Kong Ballet, Atlanta Ballet, Queensland Ballet and will feature live musical accompaniment courtesy of The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Premiering in March, the ballet chronicles the complex life of Coco Chanel, the woman behind one of the largest fashion empires of the century. As a production dedicated to someone who is responsible for the wardrobes of an entire era of modern women via timeless LBD’s and tweed skirt suits, we can only imagine the incredible artistry that will grace the Lyric Theatre stage. With a widely respected creative team behind set design, costumes, and the musical score, Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon is a must-see for all fashionistas. There will be five showtimes in total and as with all grand productions, it’s best to reserve a spot well in advance.
