Ottawa dance fans are the luckiest in the country. Once again, NAC dance producer Cathy Levy has put together four sterling series ranging from traditional ballet to avant-garde experimentation, along with two special presentations. Just check out the statistics – 20 companies from nine countries, seven of which are presenting works not seen in Canada before. Three companies are exclusive Canadian engagements (Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Pennsylvania Ballet and Public in private/Clément Layes. “I love everything I bring,” says Levy. The ballet series consists of three full-length works (the National Ballet of Canada’s Swan Lake, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens’ Rodin/Claudel and the Pennsylvania Ballet’s Coppélia), all supported by live music performed by the NAC Orchestra. Levy is particularly happy about having Les Grands Ballets Canadiens back in the ballet series.

Dear Northrop Dance Lovers, Northrop at the University of Minnesota Presents We are thrilled to present The Hong Kong Ballet in their first Northrop appearance. The company is celebrating their 35th anniversary this year, and we join them in celebration of this milestone. In a rare treat for lovers of ballet, and lovers of beautiful music, Hong Kong Ballet has commissioned acclaimed Australian choreographer Natalie Weir to create a dramatic and romantic story ballet from Puccini’s famous opera, Turandot. Weir’s exquisite partnering work and signature dance vocabulary is the perfect choice to bring this story of love and sacrifice to vibrant life. A passionate tale of ancestral revenge and the transformative power of love, Turandot follows the story of Prince Calàf who gambles his life on the chance to win the love of ice-cold Artistic Director MADELEINE ONNE Christine Tschida. Photo by Patrick O'Leary, Princess Turandot. The princess, whose beauty draws suitors University of Minnesota. from far and wide, makes each hopeful petitioner answer Senior Ballet Master LIANG JING three riddles. But this is no parlor game: Those who answer incorrectly pay with their lives. Ballet Mistress TANG MIN Weir set the ballet to Giacomo Puccini’s lush and beautiful original score that audiences will instantly recognize. Puccini (known for such masterworks as Madame Butterfly and La Bohème) left Turandot Executive Director PAUL TAM unfinished when he died, but composer and pianist Franco Alfano finished it a couple years later.
