Ballet show
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
I assisted to ballet shows in Quebec better than this one. Was disappointed by the show as the dancers were not synchronized.

Interesting and diverse
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
Performance was good. Would have helped if more people would have read the playbill. Loved the various interpretations.
Inspired by the life and distinctly recognizable style of painter Fernando Botero, renowned Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa celebrates Botero's work in movement.
Two years after she premiered this one-act work in Colombia, Annabelle will bring her narrative creativity and innovative vision to Alberta Ballet's studios where she will expand the concept into a full-length ballet.
"The juxtaposition of dance and Botero's style is elegant, playful and unexpected. Annabelle and her team created something truly inspired, and it's an honour to support the expansion of BOTERO."
--CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON
This world premiere promises to be whimsical and prodigious, an experience of dance that is as unique as Botero's voluminous subjects.
