Xiaoyi Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) https://national.ballet.ca/Tickets/Next-Season On Tour: London, UK July 28 – August 1, 2020 San Francisco Ballet November 11 — 15, 2020 Helgi Tomasson’s world-renowned San Francisco Ballet makes its Toronto debut this fall when it opens The National Ballet of Canada’s 2020/21 season. With this historic guest appearance, Toronto audiences will experience three acclaimed works from San Francisco Ballet’s recent repertoire, all from influential choreographers of today. Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes by Justin Peck Bound To by Christopher Wheeldon The Seasons by Alexei Ratmansky MADDADDAM November 21 — 29, 2020 This season, Wayne McGregor, the multi-award winning choreographer of Chroma and Genus, joins forces with one of the world’s greatest living writers, Margaret Atwood, to create a thrilling new ballet triptych for The National Ballet of Canada. MADDADDAM is based on Atwood’s acclaimed novel trilogy, Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam. Themes of extinction and invention, hubris and humanity are spliced together with aspects of Atwood's activism and her deep connection to the Canadian landscape, past and present. The Nutcracker December 10, 2020 — January 2, 2021 On Tour: Ottawa National Arts Centre January 4 — 6, 2021 A Streetcar Named Desire March 3 — 7, 2021 Swan Lake March 13 — 20, 2021 Frame by Frame March 24 — 28, 2021 Victoria June 5 — 12, 2021 Victoria turns the spotlight on a towering figure from Britain’s monarchical past, Queen Victoria, with fresh choreographic language from a rising star in contemporary narrative ballet, Cathy Marston. A first ever co-production with England’s Northern Ballet, Victoria presents the Queen through the eyes of her youngest child, closest confidante and posthumous editor of her personal journals, Princess Beatrice. The result is a sweeping production that weaves the mother/daughter relationship into the story of Queen Victoria’s long and glorious reign. Balanchine & Tchaikovsky June 18 — 24, 2021 George Balanchine set some of his most beautiful and compelling works to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, returning to the composer many times throughout his career. This programme revives three Balanchine ballets from The National Ballet of Canada repertoire set to Tchaikovsky, each a radiant visualization of music in movement.

Nowadays the globetrotting ballet career is difficult to pull off, what with mandatory two-week quarantines in place. Jurgita Dronina has left her position with English National Ballet and elected to work full time in Toronto. Frola instead has chosen to work full time in London. Emma Hawes, however, is still on both rosters. Link to comment
