The Pennsylvania Ballet has truly out-done themselves! This performance was superb and I was mesmorized the whole way through. Great story line and great ballet performers, I was very impressed. I would definitely recommend to everyone I know! This was on par with the outstanding performance of the Nutcracker.
Stellar performance. Very impressed with the Pennsylvania Ballet company. Will watch for them in the future.
Good program, beautiful choreography and costumes. Dancers were young, we could notice in some of the difficult parts that they struggled a bit, but still beautiful.
Many years ago, my wife and I attended a show at the NAC called "Tango Argentina". We have been hankering to see another Tango dance show for some time. "Tango Legends" fit the bill. There are differences between the two shows. In "Tango Legends", the dancers are younger, there are singers and the band play some numbers without dancers. Overall I found the show to be entertaining. The dancers were very athletic, the flicks between the leg were sharp. The choreography was clever and original. I found myself being surprised although I am fairly familiar with the Tango. I could have done without the singers. They were just average. The stars, however were the musicians. From the start you could tell they are excellent musicians, but because the first half of the show was dedicated to a cafe setting, they played it straight and supported the cancers. However, in the second half, on four occasions, they played without the dancers. It was clearly NUEVO TANGO, but it was like listening to a skilled jazz band. The piano player and the bandoneon player were the stars. The bass layer provided a solid foundation, switching from arco to fingers without a hitch. My wife enjoyed the show, but indicated that she preferred the dancers from "Tango Argentina" as they were more mature.
Amazing performance! Beautiful dancers! Love the show!
I havent's been to such a beautiful ballet in years! The emotion, the sensuality, the creativity were all remarkable. A truly great Canadian ballet ensemble! Thank you!
I love charing + yogic experiences .. however I expected something more moving... i found it quite repetitive and it didn't grip me like dance usually does. A bit disappointed.
I won't deny that the dancers in this show are in amazing shape and extremely talented but I feel like I was mislead by what this show actually was. In the preview they show the finale where it's lively and there is a sand curtain raining down. In reality the show is an hour of slow movements with a few quick seizure like ones thrown in and then about 30 seconds total of the sand curtain which was shown in the preview. It was very disappointing, there was five of us at the show and no one enjoyed it. The stranger beside me ended up leaving and on his way out said "I'm going to go watch water boil". After an hour the show ends for an applause break, afterwards a man comes out and literally sweeps the stage in slow motion for 15 minutes. Granted he made a very cool design but unless you're sitting right above the stage (hypothetical seats that don't exist) the design is lost and you literally watch him sweep for 15 minutes. Overall there is no way that I'd recommend anyone to see this. I really believe they should alter their advertisement so people know what they're getting into rather than selling them on the 30 seconds of excitement that happens at the end.
This was the first ballet I've ever seen, and probably the last. Just kidding. A fantastic performance with some intricate choreography, and my ten minute nap during the first act was in no way the fault of the performers.
I thought this was beautiful dancing and a wonderful performance. However, I didn't enjoy all the changes that were made to the choreography; Swan Lake is my favourite ballet, and being a professional dancer myself, I noticed these changes instantly. Though some of them looked really good, there were many that didn't seem to fit and just looked awkward. The opening act blew me away though, I had goosebumps the whole time watching. Congrats!
Pretty darn great. I could watch those swans every day.
Thought it was very beautiful. The costumes of the mice and mouse king were much better than the were two years ago. However, the other costumes were a bit less fancy and luxurious than they were in the past. I do favour the Winnipeg Ballet performance this year over the Pennsylvania Ballet performance last year. I do think that the beginning half of the performance with the family in the living room is a bit too long and should be shortened.
The Nutcracker ballet was just incredible. The orchestra played the unforgettable pieces extremely well, and the dancing and choreography was fantastic. The kids loved every moment.
Loved it! It was our first time to see the nutcracker. We were with our 5 yrs old girl and 7 yrs old boy and they both were very excited after the event. The 5 yrs old was thrilled with the ballerinas and the whole show was very kid oriented. It was incredible! The choreography, decor and the ballet in all was just magical! Loved it!
Absolutely Fabulous. Only one thing disapointed me. There was no program to buy no nutcraker for the kids. So my grandchild was disapointed. But beside that i will recommended.
We loved the magic. I plan to do this every year with my husband and children.
Excellent performance. Royal Winnipeg add fun to the ballet so that all ages enjoy.
Exquisite! A true holiday treat! Went to last minute matinee and had excellent seats.
The show was fantastic. They did an unbelievable job. Definitely recommend to anyone. We will be going again!
I was expecting an adult production but it was geared more for children. I was interrupted often by children next to me especially in Act 2 as they were getting bored. I also did not like the long waiting line for the washrooms during intermission.
