| Harlequin's Piano Feb 10, Feb 11 |
 Who's really in control in a cocktail bar? The pianist! And what happens when the pianist is a mischievous trickster, in fact a Harlequin? You'll have to come and see!
Canadian Pacific Ballet's Harlequin's Piano brings to life a rollicking, classical ballet comedy set in a 1920's piano bar. Drawn from the famous characters of the Comedia del Arte- Harlequin, Columbine, Capitano, Pantalones and Estrellina, and danced to the tuneful rags of Scott Joplin, Harlequin's Piano promises to be the best Valentines date in town! |
| Victoria, Empress of India Apr 20, Apr 21 |
| Premiering in conjunction with HM Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, Canadian Pacific Ballet presents the second in Roberta Taylor's exquisite trio of the stories of HRH Victoria's fabled reign. Filled with the lilting stains of Elgar and the dances of a romantic, visit the life of a woman, deeply in love with the Consort, Albert, and celebrating the great wealth of the colonies. Breathtaking dance from the Dancers of Canadian Pacific Ballet, brilliant choreography from one of the great classical choreographers of our time Roberta Taylor, and the always-exquisite designs of Graham McMonagle, Victoria, Empress of India is sure to move audiences just as did its prequel- Victoria and Albert. Enjoy the passion, beauty, and tragedy- don't miss Victoria, Empress of India! |
