Alberta Ballet's 2024/25 season is a line-up of fresh narratives and creative beginnings. Featuring two world premieres and family favourites, the season offers an exciting blend of tradition and innovation filled with productions that will bring artists, sets, music, and storytelling from across the world. Productions include La Sylphide, GRIMM, The Nutcracker, The Winter Gala, Dance Theatre of Harlem, The Wizard of Oz, and Don Quixote.
Congratulations to the Alberta Ballet for their stunning performance of La Sylphide! I had no idea of what to expect and enjoyed every moment. As promised, this production could hold its own against the best in the world. Thank you for a beautiful night!
This performance was delightful in every way; the dancing was outstanding, the costumes lovely and the tone that the Artistic Director set with his pre-show comments was informative in a fun way. Totally enjoyable evening.
The choreography was boring and basic, there was more arm gesturing than footwork, and the sets looked very low-budget. Also there was entirely too much talking before the show. I understand thanking the sponsors but there’s no need to go on and on about everyone who contributed including the office staff. That is what the programs are for.
The program captured and kept your attention in every way, the choreography, music, lighting, as well as the skill and stamina of the dancers. So glad I made a 3 hour trip to see it.
My husband and I brought our 11 year old and we experienced every note through him. First with Der Wolf, Felix was transfixed. He was shaking, he was hiding from the wolf, laughing with the trees, the music, the set design the dancing, the drama, he was sweating and we have never experienced ballet the way we did with him that day. Next, the Rite of Spring, we have been putting him to sleep listening to that record since he was small, the abstract nature and intensity of this piece lulled him into a mesmerized trance. Thank you. It was the final night of the show and the only thing we worried about was more people weren’t able to take part. If we could make these experiences more available to students our city would grow into a more creative space to live.
This double bill delights the eyes, ears and mind. From ballerina “trees” dancing to the beat of K.D. Lang to exquisite precision in Rite of Spring, Alberta Ballet shines bright. What a treat!
Great experience. Was my first show and it didn't disappoint. Amazing cast and show.
I am always in awe at the end of the night when I have watched the professionalism and artistry of the ballet company. Der Wolf and Rite of Spring was one of those nights where I wasn't sure what to expect and that is exactly what was delivered; the unexpected. Der Wolf was really showed how well dancers can deliver the same story three different ways and each was entertaining. The Rite of Spring was powerful with an ending that was really unexpected. I always go on opening night and I'm in the front, so I can see the effort put into each step. There were a few instances where I noticed a dancer was a bit out of step with the others and it did have a ripple effect on the dancers behind her. But I guess when everything else is so well done, a little thing can become noticeable. I'm happy to have seen the entire season this year and really looking forward to the upcoming season, which looks to be another great year of dance for Calgary. Thank you Alberta Ballet for a fun year!
I really liked the show, it was amazing. Colors, good decorations, music and general atmosphere were just stunning. I don't know a lot about ballet and I thought I wouldn't understand a lot of things, but it was really worth to go. Will definitely go again :))
First time visiting the Alberta Ballet. I was blown away by the performance, the venue and the staff! THANK YOU SO MUCH! The staff were friendly and engaged, the performance was magical, the venue was lovely! I had awesome visibility in the floor level 'p' row. I could NOT believe there were empty seats. Get tickets and enjoy this wonderful take on Hansel and Gretal. I laughed and cried I so enjoyed it and will take every opportunity possible to attend again. I am blessed, Thanks again to all who made it possible. ??????????
