Interesting depiction of Hansel & Gretel. Beautiful dancers, engaging story line. Great costumes. Visually pleasing and fun. Even my 17 year old daughter loved it. Best ballet performance I’ve seen in awhile!

Go watch the ballet
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
I feel fortunate to have got to go and see the ballet. All of the performers were so talented. The set, costumes and makeup were all so well done. I have no doubt all of the shows this team puts on will be amazing and super entertaining. I laughed and cried during the production, and highly recommend.

The production of Hansel and Gretel was fantastic. A modern yet familiar take on the story line. Excellent talent and performance.

Fantastic.
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
Dancers were absolutely incredible and the story was amazing. Very worth it. The only downside was the people sitting next to me who continued to talk and would take me out of the story each time. Please remember to not bring young children who are not capable of sitting quietly for an extended period of time as it is rude to those around you. Especially to an evening performance.

The show was great but...
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
The show was great but the chosen location (Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium) for the ballet is not good. Instead of enjoying the show, I enjoyed the view of the head of the person sitting in front of me. I have never had such kind of problem in a movie theatre, Jack Singer Concert Hall or Max Bell Theatre.

great dancing, white washed the second act
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
I love going to see the Nutcracker and have been for years now. However, since last year they have taken out many of the great dances based of off the Spanish, Arabian, Chinese and French and turned them into dances of people in white costumes dancing around to the same music no longer showcasing the different nationalities. It's incredibly sad to watch. Though I will say the dancing of the actors was great this year, I really hope they bring back the international dances in 2024.
