I really enjoyed the show, especially the modern twist on the Little Red Riding Hood in Der Wolf. Alberta Ballet is world-class, amazing choreography, costumes and performance!
The ballet was amazing, loved the story renditions. The Dancing was magnificent. My only critic is that the Base (sound) was set a touch too loud on the second half and did irritate my ears some. Not enough to take a way the enjoyment, yet would have been perfect at a slightly lower level.
A very interesting program- Der Wolf was superb- beautiful and thought provoking. The choreography was very interesting, lively and nicely aligned with a variety of musical styles. The principles were both wonderful dancers as were the supporting dancers. The Right of Spring is such a great pre-WW1 piece of primal rhythmic music and offers so much opportunity of expression to a ballet troupe. Very well executed.
The double feature (Der Wolf and the Rite of Spring) was incredibly masterful. We immersed into every moment and enjoyed such a unique afternoon as a family. Our 3 children LOVED it! Brava to the dancers and crew for such a gift of art
Both pieces were so beautiful. Each was a great work of art by the choreographers, executed excellently by the outstanding dancers of Alberta Ballet! I’m so impressed by this company and can’t wait for next season!
Very good took my 11 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed the performance and the story time before as well
Price policy of Jubilee needs improvement. They don't have discount/free tickets for small kids. I asked about this. The first answer was that each patron needs a ticket and this is Fire Code requirement. After I purchase a ticket I can have my kid on my laps (but I pay for two equal tickets anyway!). This is not true, Fire Code does not dictate prices. If ticket is required, issue it for free! I told this to their rep. Got an answer that this is internal Jubilee policy, not Fire Code, to charge full price. Any policy, if it is wrong can be changed. We have kids discounts (and expect them) in air planes, restaurants, everywhere. Why ballet is different? How can young family with 3 small kids can afford to by 5 full-priced tickets?
This was my very first ballet and I was so impressed. I laughed and thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. I thought the dancing was fabulous and they portrayed so much emotion. I could feel so much through the performance. Thank you for this beautiful portrayal of Hanzel and Gretel. I had so much fun!!
As a contemporary opera, we didn't know much about it. We were delightfully surprised with the quality of the production, the characters, the ballet, the costumes and the creative set design. Bravo ! Our only disappointment was the small audience for such a well done production.
Beautiful. A dark, Grimm fairytale, mixed with Tim Burton-y burlesque.
