Dangerous Liaisons - Alberta Ballet Tickets

What a great show, would 100% recommend this play to anyone

Yes, there was adult content but it was an excellent performance with essentially two casts separated by a scrim. The use of period costumes accentuated the timeframe of the work and provided additional scenery.

Excellent ballet! The music, lighting, costumes and choreography was on spot.

Cleverly portrayed as a play and simultaneous dance. Creative, encapsulating and stunningly beautiful.

The performers all around were fabulous. A stunning ballet and dialogue. beautifully executed. Very dramatic, sensual, and choreography was wonderful.

I liked the story being told through the voice of a narrator instead of only through dance.

The ballet was fantastic. It encourages you to go to more events with the Alberta Ballet.

While the choreography was at times beautiful, the storyline was slow and boring. The back and forth between stage and dance was well done but I was relieved when it was all over.

This is a story of idle aristocracy, passion and manipulation that is both told and expressed in dance. The stage presentation was nicely done with the music and story telling fore-played (pun intended) by the dancers in fore-ground. I enjoyed the performance, but the dance routines and story integration could have been more creative and expressive. Likewise, some of the dancer's facial expressions could have better matched the story telling. For me, the wow factor was missing.

I found the narration and the scene or play they did behind the ballet to be distracting. I found the first act jumped around a lot and was a little harder to follow. I understand that they were trying to make sure people would be able to follow the story line especially for ones who were not familiar with the story. It just seemed to take away from the ballet. The second act did redeem the whole ballet, it was really well done and flowed more chohesively. The ballet portion was amazing and beautiful.
