Performance Dates: March 14 – 29, 2015 Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts Lewis Carroll’s charming and hilarious children’s classic is given a ballet treatment by British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon that is the very measure of the original. Outrageously theatrical, with stunning sets and costumes by Bob Crowley and set to an energetic, riveting score by Joby Talbot, Mr. Wheeldon revisits many of the familiar characters from the book but in a way that feels like we’re meeting them for the first time. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland enthralled audiences when it premiered in 2011 with its mind-boggling stagecraft, excellent choreography and perfect blend of classical dance and sheer entertainment. Quotes "Over the course of nearly three hours, the theatrical wonders of choreographer Christopher Wheeldon's three-act Alice's Adventures in Wonderland keep tumbling and flowing into place." The Wall Street Journal, 2013 “The National Ballet of Canada's Alice is a wonderland…” The OC Register, 2012 “a brilliantly theatrical, superbly designed (by Bob Crowley) extravaganza of color and costume, madcap action and fluent dance” The New York Times, 2011 “an Alice whose wit, speed and invention have lifted the whole story ballet genre into the 21st century… This Alice looks set to become a classic.” The Guardian, 2011 “combined with Talbot's slightly deranged score, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland feels like the first ever authentically 21st-century story ballet. Curiouser and curiouser.” Time Magazine, 2011 Page 2 of 2 2014/15 Roster Celia Franca, C.C. Founder George Crum Music Director Emeritus Karen Kain, C.C.

Fall Season presents North American Premiere Anna Karenina November 10 – 18, 2018 Tolstoy’s great prose masterwork towers over the western literary canon as one of the most fully imagined and riveting works of fiction ever written. It is no A Ballet by John Neumeier wonder that John Neumeier, one of the most frequent and fearless adapters of literary works into modern choreographic form, should have eventually taken on Inspired by Leo Tolstoy the challenge of the great Russian novel. Using the book more as an inspiration than as a strict narrative template, Neumeier chooses to adapt the work freely. He sets the story, for instance, in the present day, rather than the 19th century, and structures his ballet in two acts with numerous scene changes, condensing the material and focusing on its key themes, which he allows to merge through an intuitive and poetic rather than a literal process. Music by Tchaikovsky provides a link with the Tolstoyan world of the novel, but Neumeier also incorporates modern work by Alfred Schnittke and Cat Stevens/ Yusuf Islam to further underscore the central characters’ conflicts and emotional lives. The work of a great literary artist meeting the imagination of a great interpretive choreographer, Anna Karenina is an unforgettable ballet experience.
