As Alberta Ballet celebrates its 60th anniversary, artistic director Francesco Ventriglia expresses 'a profound sense of honour and gratitude' for leading the company at this milestone. The upcoming season, described as 'like no other,' promises a remarkable lineup of performances that honor the company's legacy while embracing innovation.
Season Highlights
The 60th season will feature a diverse repertoire blending classical masterpieces with contemporary works. Ventriglia emphasizes the importance of connecting with audiences through storytelling and artistic excellence. The season aims to showcase the talent of Alberta Ballet's dancers and creative team.
Community Engagement
Beyond the stage, Alberta Ballet plans special events and educational programs to engage the Calgary community. Workshops, behind-the-scenes tours, and meet-the-artist sessions will offer deeper insights into the art form.
Ventriglia notes that the anniversary is a time to reflect on the company's rich history and its role in shaping Canadian dance. He credits the dedication of past and present members for Alberta Ballet's enduring success.
Tickets for the season are expected to go on sale later this month, with early subscription packages available for loyal patrons.
