Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet Tickets

This performance was a birthday present for my grandson. He is particularly fond of the scenes with the mice and their battle. We loved the challenge with the carrot. As always we loved the Canadian touches and the reindeer which were new to us this year. We do have a comment about costuming. While they were all beautiful, we both felt that there was too much pink. The flowera were all pink as we're the sugar plums and other dancers. This patron likes to be able to distinguish the Sugar Plum fairy from the flowers!!!! Other than that we loved the performance.

loved the performance. I try to go every year to see the nutcracker. this year, it was almost sold out at the time I was purchasing the tickets. got the seats on the balcony. the seats were nice, the performance was amazing. Theater looks very nice after the renovations!

Wonderful production - Loved the Canadian slant. Dancing was exquisite - and the lifts, oh my!

The performance was thoroughly enjoyable. It had some Canadian flavour. The children were adorable in the cast.

Our experience was absolutely wonderful! The staff were happy to help us and the show was so well done! We cannot wait to see it again next year!

This production of Nutcracker was refreshingly différent and great

A most lovely show overall! Keep my 7 and 9 year old grandchildren mesmerized! Bravo to the orchestra - oh the music!!

We ended up purchasing tickets for the Nutcracker for my family (all adults). It was a great show. The first half was hands down my favourite-very story-like and easy to follow. Once Clara falls into dream, the story was a bit hard to follow. The “dream” version of Clara and the Nutcracker didn’t much resemble the initial child Clara and her child love interest. There was a lot of dance of course but not much story. The young children in the ballet were ADORABLE. The dancing itself was beautiful just a bit long at times. Overall we would definitely go back and because we knew the show storyline, we were able to follow easily. Costumes were great, energy was also great!

A beautiful production! I’ve wanted to see the nutcracker ever since I was a little girl.. I had high expectations of this ballet and was not disappointed! I would go back and see it again if I could.

The ballet was superb, so impressive. The New look for the Art Centre is spectacular!

I like everything: the dance, the dancers, orchestra, music, the seat and costumes. Thank you.

My daughter and I begin the Christmas season with our annual visit to the NAC to see Nutcracker, we have been doing this for 12 years. We have seen the RWB interpretation many times. This year was wonderful! We loved the additions of the polar bears, the reindeer, and extending the role of Drosselmeier in Act 2. Thank you, Royal Winnipeg Ballet for a wonderful evening.

RWB is a Canadian treasure and this dance was a bright moment in Canadian arts. The very fact of making a ballet to highlight this special moment in the aboriginal relationship with Canada was brave and doing so with such a complex story daunting. The issue seemed to be too big for a stage, but the dancers on that stage made moments come alive so there are flashes of feeling and hope that any audience will have for a very long time. Bravo to a company challenging the way an arts company should!

Going Home Star - Truth And Reconciliation was beautifully done! It respected the First Nations traditions, not just of the residential school survivors but of the lands where we were are. The story, written by Joseph Boyden was delicious. The dancing followed the story line & beautifully told the story of Annie & Gordon. Some of the story was difficult, like the physical and sexual abuse in the residential school, but it was part of the story that needs to be told. Telling it using ballet was moving & done with sensitivity. It was very moving. If I had one small criticism, it would be that some of the props used it would be that they sometimes blocked the view of the dancers and made it difficult to see what was going on.

I loved the music, the set, the dancing, the costumes but mostly I loved the fact that truth and reconciliation is going mainstream. I didn't know what to expect and I was very impressed.

It was more than a ballet. It was an intense experience that I entered into and it in turn it has entered into me.

.... ballet or live performance I have ever seen in my entire life.

A very important, relevant work for Canadians to see, and the choreography and design is brilliant in telling the story

This was an outstanding performance. Congratulations to the Royal Winnipeg ballet, what an amazing job!

Beautiful, profound and a necessary step towards truth and reconciliation.
