Alberta Nutcracker - Best ever!

My wife and I have seen many productions of the Nutcracker but none compare to the creativity of the production we attended at the QE on December 31. The sets, costumes and choreography were magical and the blend of professional and amatuer performers was both whimsical and seamless. We particularly enjoyed the quality of dancing by the male performer which usually, due to the demographics of the ballet, is dependent on a couple of individuals. In this case, all were terrific. The Alberta Ballet Company has set a bench mark by which we will compare future productions of the Nutcracker. As well, great job by the VSO for the music that made this a memorable evening.

The production was beautifully danced, Sumptuously displayed with lots of grace and style.
The whole evening was a delight and well designed. The younger members of the corp de ballet were excellent and did Vancouver proud.
I have never seen the Alberta Ballet company before and would be happy to go to others of their performances.

Very enjoyable when I only booked a ticket on the morning of the performance.
I was lucky to get a space.

Not being a dancer or even a dance aficionado, I can't say "Amazing". But I characterized it to my wife as perhaps the most enjoyable evening of ballet in Vancouver I've ever experienced. Hilda Gudnadottir's cello music was utterly haunting, and Emily Molnar's choreography and dancers squeezed every breath out of it in their "becoming and disappearing". Some of the music in the second piece choreographed by Aszure Barton was truly riveting, particularly the eastern European numbers that provided the dancers terrific scope to express themselves. Walking Mad made a complex and intriguing story out of Ravel's somewhat straightforward Bolero music -- very enjoyable indeed.

My daughter and I attended this performance on Sunday March 10th and were amazed at the talent and uniqueness of this ballet. It was our first experience with that level of dance and we LOVED IT! I would recommend it as a definite "need to see" if you like emotion and talent all in one.

I went because I wanted to see "Walking Mad". I'd heard a lot about the piece and it didn't disappoint. But the new piece by Emily Molnar was, for me, the hit of the evening. I just loved it!

This year has been the first year out of 10 that I've gone to a Ballet BC, I was roped in with Love Lies Bleeding, and had to come again. I was thoroughly pleased with the work of the Ballet BC dancers, and the choreography of Diversion spoke to me in the way that you are always told that art should. It moved me, and through its sometimes jarring movements I could follow its story exactly, no words necessary. Doppeling, the third dance of 3 Fold, was simply stunning.

I loved this ballet- it was fresh and modern. I would highly recommend this ballet to others. I really connected with the italian piece in particular- with all the lights on the stage and the dancers dancing between the lights. It was visually stunning.
I walked out feeling happy and elated. Itwas a great way to spend my birthday evening!!

Finally able to drag my husband to the ballet and it was an overall disappointment. I attend many different dance events per year and I had high hopes for this one. It was no where near as inviting as the Ballet Kelowna performance I attended the week before. Dancers were stunning, moments of choreographic brilliance for sure, but a little 'disconnected' from the audience...felt self-serving.

This was an exciting evening of original dance and music. Being in the theatre for a set of original pieces by Canadians was a treat for any arts lover in BC. The first piece by Wen Wei Wang was a joy to watch and the presence of the orchestra onstage was a glorious beginning made even more so by the interplay between the music soloists and the dancers, on particular the second one with the violin and the male duet. Later in the program the extraordinary staging of Moth captured the magic of summer evenings with the dancers moving the audience into experiencing the flight of moths who dance around summer lights.
It is the case, as has been said elsewhere, that the pieces of the program were very similar even though there were four choreographers, and that is something for the company to be careful about, but never the less, the evening was a triumph for Ballet BC

Sat 2pm performance wasn't quite sold out and I felt many locals had missed a real experience. I've known this company from my days visiting New York and living in Toronto and it had been over 20 years since I had seen them perform. I loved every minute of it. The ensemble performed at the highest levels and the music created a real 'feeling' for each dance. The staging and lighting were wonderful. So glad I decided to go.
