The Australian Ballet seems to have had a smash hit with Oscar. Not only did the ballet, choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and commissioned by David Hallberg, get the highest kind of praise from critics, it was also apparently a dazzling event with an opening that included some sumptuously adorned drag queens to highlight the way ballet could be an up-to-the-minute thing of glamour and confrontation and not just a constant revival of the vintage and classical.
