so-so
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
Price policy of Jubilee needs improvement. They don't have discount/free tickets for small kids. I asked about this. The first answer was that each patron needs a ticket and this is Fire Code requirement. After I purchase a ticket I can have my kid on my laps (but I pay for two equal tickets anyway!). This is not true, Fire Code does not dictate prices. If ticket is required, issue it for free! I told this to their rep. Got an answer that this is internal Jubilee policy, not Fire Code, to charge full price. Any policy, if it is wrong can be changed. We have kids discounts (and expect them) in air planes, restaurants, everywhere. Why ballet is different? How can young family with 3 small kids can afford to by 5 full-priced tickets?

First ballet
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
This was my very first ballet and I was so impressed. I laughed and thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. I thought the dancing was fabulous and they portrayed so much emotion. I could feel so much through the performance. Thank you for this beautiful portrayal of Hanzel and Gretel. I had so much fun!!

A wonderful production
Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton
As a contemporary opera, we didn't know much about it. We were delightfully surprised with the quality of the production, the characters, the ballet, the costumes and the creative set design. Bravo ! Our only disappointment was the small audience for such a well done production.

Beautiful. A dark, Grimm fairytale, mixed with Tim Burton-y burlesque.

fabulous Hansel and Gretel interpretation
Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary
Loved the artistic rendering of this fairytale: silent film, 20's jazz. The sets and costumes were very imaginative (think Cirque du Soleil), the fresh score held up the dance component beautifully. I so enjoyed the addition of caring parents, and their pas de deux - romantic and moving. I would definitely recommend seeing this ballet if you have a chance.

Amazingly fabulous and unexpected

This show went way beyond my expectations. It was fabulously quirky, hilarious and the music was phenomenal. By far my most favorite and memorable ballet! I dont know how another show can top it. I didn’t want it to end!
