I thoroughly enjoyed this ballet. So very happy with our new artistic director ( and team) as he is wonderfully creative and intelligent in choices. I found the ballet to have many creative levels: from obvious storyline to more nuanced lighting, timing, unexpected turns of events! Standing ovation from me!
The dancing was completely ruined by the horrible music, if you can even even call it music. It was basically clanging sounds and other grating noises. Impossible to listen to. So disappointing when the dancers clearly worked so hard.
I highly recommend this ballet. From the very beginning it captures your attention with the awesome music and the very talented dancers. The dancers keep your attention all the way through the performance.
Wonderful choreographic interpretation of the Grimm Brothers stories; beautiful dancing. Takes you back to your childhood in a warm & relaxing feeling.
Best seat ever. Clear viewing from my aisle seat. Loved every minute of Grimm. Great costumes, sets, and masterful dancers.
My friend and I attended The Grimm Sat Oct 19/24. It was very enjoyable and entertaining. Loved the costumes and the choreography. Beautifully done!
The ballet was fabulous, interesting modern take and the dancers did an amazing tribute to the music.
The Grimm show was such a beautiful performance. It was the first ballet I've attended and it was such an amazing experience. I only wish I had put the money out for better tickets! I will definitely be attending another ballet by Alberta Ballet. I can't wait!
The synthetic music took genius from the choreographer to make a dance out of it. The Grimms fairy tales needed surtitles to help the audience follow the story line. The dancers were suffering from a lack of music. The audience response, which was lukewarm, told everything. But the dancers were magnificent.
