Ballet BC is proud to announce the 2019/20 season marking the 34th Anniversary year as the company continues to celebrate life as movement. The new season, filled with powerful and unforgettable moments, features a North American premiere, Ballet BC premiere and the return of five renowned choreographers!
Reveling in the beauty of our humanity, the season opens with two works in Program 1 by acclaimed choreographers: the premiere of BUSK by Canadian choreographer Aszure Barton and B.R.I.S.A by Johan Inger. In Program 2 we revisit the pleasure, pain and politics of young love with the timeless Romeo + Juliet by Medhi Walerski. Program 3 closes the season with a hypnotic experience of the sensory worlds of Hora by Ohad Naharin and Bill by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar.
For the holidays in December, Ballet BC presents Alberta Ballet’s retelling of holiday classic The Nutcracker. With choreography by Edmund Stripe, sets and costumes designed by Emmy Award-winning designer Zack Brown, and Tchaikovsky’s glorious musical score played live by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, this extravagant production is a dazzling complement to the holiday season.
Join us for a season that will bring a sense of wonder and focus to the breadth of Ballet BC’s collaborations and artistic vision.
