Why the Royal Winnipeg Ballet is a Must See

Christmas feels a little empty if you don’t go see the Nutcracker. This year, however, it’s a little special. It’s being performed by North America’s oldest and longest running ballet company. Andre Lewis, the ballet’s Artistic Director, revealed that the company would be using some of Canada’s iconic imagery. This includes the use of the Canadian Parliament towers, a Hudson Bay blanket and the flannel winter ready jacket. It brings a Canadian flavor to an otherwise Russian affair. Furthermore, the performance also showcases immaculately designed sets and costumes that successfully transport the audience into Tchaikovsky’s and Hoffman’s fantasy. 

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet will give its audience a couple of surprises. For one, it’s not all Russian. Audiences will get a taste of a variety of cultures with performers doing a memorable Arabic act. The act will have scintillating music to accompany the perfect choreography and set.  There will also be the inclusion of endearing characters such as the Nutcracker prince, Uncle Drosselmeyer – Clara’s Mystical Uncle and Cavalier – the handsome partner of the Sugar Plum Fairy.  

What Everyone is Saying

The website Lords of Dogwood calls the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s talent ‘pristine and flawless, never missing a beat with its ever-moving narrative’. Some of the stars to look out for in this production would be The Sugar Plum Fairy.
