  • Ms. Kain's Full Message

    Ms. Kain's Full Message

    AGM Message Karen Kain, Artistic Director When we reflect on the 2019/20 season, what inevitably comes to mind are the significant, ongoing challenges brought on by the pandemic. But nothing can diminish what The National Ballet of Canada achieved, both onstage and off, leading up to that unforgettable moment in March when our theatres closed. The performances of our 2019/20 season were some of the finest and most memorable of my career as Artistic Director. Knowing that so many of you – our donors and audiences – felt equally moved and inspired is the ultimate reward. The season opened with Giselle, where many of our principal ballerinas gave exceptional performances in the title role. There were two mixed programmes in the Fall Season that showcased the diversity of our artists. The company performed Choreographic Associate Robert Binet’s world premiere of Orpheus Alive, with a new score commissioned from Missy Mazzoli. This work shared an evening with Balanchine’s Chaconne. The second mixed programme featured Harald Lander’s homage to classical ballet training, Etudes, Jiří Kylián’s exceptional Petite Mort and Alexei Ratmansky’s Piano Concerto #1. 2019 concluded with our annual performances of James Kudelka’s The Nutcracker. In January, with very little time to prepare, the company travelled to the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C. where we performed a mixed programme of William Forsythe’s The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude and Approximate Sonata 2016 with Piano Concerto #1 and Petite Mort. The company also performed The Sleeping Beauty to rave reviews from critics and standing ovations from audiences.
