Under the artistic direction of André Lewis, versatility, technical excellence, and captivating style are hallmarks of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. In this rare U.S. appearance, the company will perform Argentinean choreographer Mauricio Wainrot's passionate Carmina Burana, a feast for the senses set to Carl Orff's famous score. The full-company work is packed with visual drama and theatricality, and Wainrot's choreography is strong, passionate, and full of lush lyricism.
The program also features contemporary ballet choreographer Peter Quanz's In Tandem, deliciously matched with composer Steve Reich's "Double Sextet"; Alastair Macaulay of The New York Times describes it as "full of social charm and fleeting suggestions of social and love relationships."
Founded in 1939, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet is the longest continually operating ballet company in North America. In 1953, the Company received its royal title, the first granted under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1964, the company made its U.S. debut at Jacob's Pillow; this is the first time they have returned since.
