Excellent performance. It's a candy to the eye and a joy to the heart! Hope to enjoy more Alberta Ballet's performance.
I took my partner to this, and it was his first experience of ballet. Cinderella exceeded his expectations, he really appreciated the humour weaved into the ballet through the stepsisters, and he was in awe of the dancing and music. He said having such a positive experience made him want to see what else Alberta Ballet has to offer. From a long time ballet goer perspective this ballet was delightful!
The "ugly stepsisters" stole the show! With their antics and crazy dancing it was probably more challenging to dance that way than regular ballet moves The horse carriage was amazing, so beautiful and the horses were so creative. If you were striving for more realism, horses paw the ground with their front hooves, never the back. the "father" of Cinderella could have been made more "elderly". I didn't know at first whether he was a sibling or the father. I enjoyed the dancing very much but thought it dragged a bit when it seemed everyone must have their turn to show their talents. The jester had amazing jumps.
It was a date night for my daugther and I. She is 13, and it was something she will always remember
This is one of very few ballets that I have attended. It must be an acquired taste as I did not enjoy it much. Perhaps I did not know what to look for or what to expect.
Lovely show, great seats, wished it was a bit less expensive & wish there was more convenient parking.
My two girls and myself enjoyed this beautifully staged performance, amazing set design and charming and humorous choreography and characters. The highlight of the show was the carriage with "horses". wonderful experience, I would highly recommend it!
The first act was a little slow, but when the beautiful Cinderella carriage came on stage was a just "wow" moment! The second act was super funny and engaging, loved it. Very talented dancers.
It’s so nice to be able to enjoy the ballet again. Cinderella is my favourite story of all time, and the Alberta Ballets interpretation did not disappoint. I loved every moment.
I enjoyed it overall Love the dancers and the ballet But to be honest, it is boring when there is no talking. I wish some talking was there!
I went to this show and it was good, but the solo dances were extremely long, and the act 1 was very boring. Also it was very confusing that Cinderella had a father in the ballet where he does not in the movies, I had no idea who he was or why he was there until I was able to read the program. The second act was amazing. Very intreging, but the solo dances where extremely long as well.
Seemed like it wasn’t the story of Cinderella but rather a mash up of beauty and the beast, Snow White and Peter Pan. Decided to leave at intermission rather than watch the second half.
Great dancers, music was fantastic, enjoyed every moment!
Great family entertainment! Unexpected humour was great, 11 yr old daughter loved it too!
Such dedication and talent! Can’t wait for the next one!
I took our 3.5 yr to see this. She loves ballet and Cinderella. She loved it! It was mesmerizing.
Producer and the crew put a lot of effort to create the atmosphere for the show. Preformance was good.
Breath taking Hilarious moments Kept you laughing love the performance
The dancing was on point and the choreography was fantastic. The 2 step sisters were hilarious!
I was so excited for this event. I grew up LOVING Cinderella and splurged on these seats for my mom and I. While the show was AMAZING (I laughed and cried and applauded) the kids who sat on both sides of my mom and I ruined our experience. Their parents made no effort to discipline them. They were kicking, whispering/laughing, jumping and playing throughout the whole time. During intermission, I privately spoke to the staff on site as well voiced my displeasure to the parents but the behavior did not stop. I wish there were adult only sections so we can enjoy the experience without the yelling, kicking or screaming of the kids.
