DRACULA
BRING YOUR GROUP
TO CANADA’S ROYAL
WINNIPEG BALLET
A legend, a classic novel, the subject of countless movies and burnt into the public psyche over the past one hundred years,
the Dracula name evokes dread and horror but, most of all, fascination. Set to a glorious score by Gustav Mahler, with opulent
sets and costumes, this dark fantasy is faithful to Bram Stoker’s gothic novel, brimming with passion and fearful suspense.
DEC 22-31 / 2016
NUTCRACKER
When midnight strikes, young Clara’s enchanted Christmas gift leads her into a wondrous world... with the valiant Nutcracker
at her side, Clara defeats the Mouse King and his army of mice, and journeys to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets.
Nutcracker is a sheer delight, and a holiday classic for the whole family!

MIXED PROGRAMME FEATURING
CELTS + ANGELS IN THE ARCHITECTURE
ANGELS IN THE ARCHITECTURE
Set to the music of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring, Angels In The Architecture pays homage to the Shakers, 19th
century America’s largest and best-known communal society. Angels In The Architecture represents the excellence
and simplicity of their work, the creativity, and the dedication and devotion that were integrated into their daily lives.
CELTS (Winnipeg Premiere!)
Lila York’s Celts is an exuberant fusion of ballet, modern, classical and Irish folk dance set to the music of pulse pounding
and foot stomping rhythms of Celtic music. The inspired choreography showcases ensemble pieces and energetic solos. The
ballet springs to life with a pastiche score by The Chieftains, Mason Daring, William J. Ruyle, Bill Whelan and Celtic Thunder.

LOVE LIES BLEEDING
GROUPS SAVE
Excess, drama, eroticism, and a profusion of extravagant costumes. Acclaimed by audiences and critics across North
America, Jean Grand-Maître’s mesmerizing multimedia ballet fuses the joy of pop/rock with the breathtaking physicality of
ballet. Featuring 14 classic songs by rock legends Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Love Lies Bleeding depicts a musician’s
rise to fame, exploring the trials, sacrifices and triumphs of achieving superstardom - an unforgettable story of rock ‘n’ roll,
drama, passion, defeat, and above all, love.

VESPERS
Vespers means “evening prayer” and for over four hundred years have certainly stood the test of time. It remains well
known to this day - a true testament to the music’s remarkable power and quality. Leading this newly commissioned work is
internationally acclaimed choreographer, James Kudelka. With Vespers, we look forward to seeing how Kudelka will combine
dramatic atmospheres with creative classical ballet technique and contemporary styles and perspectives on relationships,
nature and the spiritual world.
