This production was so very well put together and the story we all know and love was well portrayed. The colours of the costumes were so vibrant and told the story they were designed to tell. The performance had humorous moments throughout. Toto was awesome! A must see!
Very good adaptation, thoroughly enjoyed the orchestra, the show, the performers - well done! Seating - need for improvement, in the balcony section there is very little room for people to walk by to get to their seats. Many elderly and larger people had much difficulty. There should be a centre aisle to prevent the long access to the middle seat section.
Creative, artistic, colourful, fun stage production for all ages. Amazing dancers, beautiful costumes and stage settings. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company did a masterful presentation. I highly recommend this performance.
Le Ballet Royal de Winipeg est absolument incroyable, le magicien d'Oz est un classique qui a été interprèté de facon magistrale
This was the trifecta for me so i was really excited when I purchased these tickets. We arrived early to get good parking and have a drink. I haven't been to the NAC since the renovation; our seats were in the orchestra and they were very comfortable. I was surprised though to see that you could bring drinks in at intermission. This was somewhat disruptive as i could hear cups rolling around on the floor during the second half. As for the performance itself i was underwhelmed. For a performance from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet i found it to be somehat amateur-ish. The choreography was repetitive and the dancing clunky and not in sync. The best performer was the Tin Man. The set and the costumes were amazing and the puppeteer was outstanding.
This was my first live ballet I've had. I was having a seat on the outer side of the balcony - it was breathtaking to be in the NAC building itself and to see the stage, the velvet curtain. But not as breathtaking as the dancers. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had. I went by myself, but that didn't matter. It was absolutely lovely, wondrous, amazing to see them dance their hearts out. I loved it and absolutely recommend anyone to see this ensemble.
The last of the three pieces was well worth the price of admission. The first piece felt somewhat out of step with the times and seemed like an odd choice. The dancers however, were magnificent at every turn. Bravo.
Perfect Acoustics Great Ambience Supreme Performances Felt like being a part of a movie Thank you NAC for putting in all the efforts and bringing amazing showcases to the town.
Too dark but not bad byes could have used a few more trix and maybe some back flips the youg girl with brown hair was by far the best
Breathtaking music and jaw-dropping acrobatic feats. 90 minutes passed so quickly. I would see it again.
First time to see this kind of dance. Great dancers!
mesmerizing, slow but necessary in this world of fleeting attention and effort
That performance was intense and made me uncomfortable in all sorts of ways: very slow movement, motion-sickness inducing movement that would not stop in the first act with primal screams, bits of fluff flying about in large quantities for most of the show, incense burning, small contained fires being carried around, much grunting and unusual sounds, pebbles being laid out on the silk path, and I spent most of it thinking that I couldn't get out of there fast enough until the final curtain when 68-year old choreographer Lin Lee-Chen came out for her curtain call grinning from ear to ear and in that moment it all came together for me as the triumph that is was for her. The dancers had realized her intent exactly as she envisioned it and I concluded that she was intentionally messing with us. Go and see it if you can. Also there were several final curtain calls. People weren't sure when to leave and in my opinion the performers were clearly under direction to keep on playing until the place cleared out in front of them. Strange, but in an interesting way.
Mesmerizing...loved it! Dancers and choreography were wonderful...dancers were incredibly athletic and interpretation was passionate. OCD Love would be enjoyed by all age groups.
We found the physicality amazing but we could not figure out the storyline. The first part was too long and music became annoying.
The dancers captured the true essence of swan lake. With movement that brings us, the audience, into the story. With perfect coordination and grace, we are entranced. Visually stunning costumes and lighting bring us from chapter to chapter of the story. The music embraces every move with delightful excellence.
Impressive!! one of my favorite ballet - it was excellent.
Amazing production. Top rated performers - top notch principals.
We enjoyed the ballet very much. My husband was sitting on the edge of his seat then entire time. You cannot help getting into the story.
Truly magnificent performance. The preservation of the traditional ballet is much appreciated. The emotions of every dancer, the exact choreography, the attention to detail and synchronous movements with the music of the orchestra add to the felling of being immersed in a fairy tale where all comes to life.
