In Memoriam: Isobel Allen

The National Ballet of Canada mourns the loss of Isobel Allen, a dear and generous friend from the company’s earliest days. Ms. Allen was in the audience for the National Ballet’s debut performance in 1951 and never missed a season since. Isobel made an annual gift to the company starting in the 1960s. Fiercely independent and a passionate supporter of the arts, Ms. Allen passed peacefully in her 91st year in Toronto on March 31, 2016. A regular at all our annual meetings, Isobel will be missed by all her friends at The National Ballet.
