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.
Weird opening, alright premise, beautiful dancers. Mostly enjoyable, occasionally the music was painful to listen to. Thankfully the opening number was the worst of it. Get past that and it was decent. Not the best ballet I've seen, but not the worst.
The Alberta Ballet production of Grimm was absolutely magical! It was both dark and whimsical and each set was well designed. Very cool and contemporary ballet production!
Dancing/choreography and costumes were 5 star. Interesting theme/concept that flowed well. Music was more like sounds. Very atonal and very repetitive. I would give the sounds 2-3 stars. I hope that as a world premiere, this ballet is picked up to perform in other cities.
Grimm Ballet - beautifully weird and elegantly macabre. An original score that permeates the atmosphere like tendrils of smoke curling around a night fire. Dancing that emoted tenderness, malevolence, playfulness and love. Alberta Ballet absolutely knocked it out of the park. An amazing ballet performance that blends 7 Grimm Fairy tales, this world premiere is a classic in the making. I wish there was more than one weekend so I could see it again.
La Sylphide is a romantic, classical tale about a man who is engaged to a woman in real life, and then falls in love with a beautiful nymph. Loved everything about this ballet. The performers who were recruited from around the world, were amazing!
Was lovely, but it felt like it was a shorter production than last ballet I saw. š„“ More of a quick production ballet, but they did say as much in that it was a four week rehersal.
The ballet was exquisite! The dancers incredible and the costumes and setting stunning! Iām not a regular at the ballet but will definitely be looking out for the next performances at the Jubilee theatre!
This production was amazing. I am fortunate to have been able to attend. The dancers were awesome. The Scottish band at the beginning was a terrific idea. La Sylphide is one of my favourite ballets. Iām very happy Alberta Ballet was able to add it to their repertoire.
The Show was incredibly fantastic, All the detailsā¦amazing dancers, it was a really happy moment
My daughter & I thought fabulous. I was surprised by the ppl that didn't offer standing ovation. I've always adored ballet. I sway in my seat feeling their graceful free movements l.
Timing of dancers was impeccable. Costumes great. Good seats
I really enjoyed the show, especially the modern twist on the Little Red Riding Hood in Der Wolf. Alberta Ballet is world-class, amazing choreography, costumes and performance!
The ballet was amazing, loved the story renditions. The Dancing was magnificent. My only critic is that the Base (sound) was set a touch too loud on the second half and did irritate my ears some. Not enough to take a way the enjoyment, yet would have been perfect at a slightly lower level.
A very interesting program- Der Wolf was superb- beautiful and thought provoking. The choreography was very interesting, lively and nicely aligned with a variety of musical styles. The principles were both wonderful dancers as were the supporting dancers. The Right of Spring is such a great pre-WW1 piece of primal rhythmic music and offers so much opportunity of expression to a ballet troupe. Very well executed.
The double feature (Der Wolf and the Rite of Spring) was incredibly masterful. We immersed into every moment and enjoyed such a unique afternoon as a family. Our 3 children LOVED it! Brava to the dancers and crew for such a gift of art
Both pieces were so beautiful. Each was a great work of art by the choreographers, executed excellently by the outstanding dancers of Alberta Ballet! Iām so impressed by this company and canāt wait for next season!
Very good took my 11 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed the performance and the story time before as well
Price policy of Jubilee needs improvement. They don't have discount/free tickets for small kids. I asked about this. The first answer was that each patron needs a ticket and this is Fire Code requirement. After I purchase a ticket I can have my kid on my laps (but I pay for two equal tickets anyway!). This is not true, Fire Code does not dictate prices. If ticket is required, issue it for free! I told this to their rep. Got an answer that this is internal Jubilee policy, not Fire Code, to charge full price. Any policy, if it is wrong can be changed. We have kids discounts (and expect them) in air planes, restaurants, everywhere. Why ballet is different? How can young family with 3 small kids can afford to by 5 full-priced tickets?
