Our upcoming season has so much beautiful new work in store for you! We are excited to welcome some brilliant choreographers to create for us and are especially thrilled we can present Wen Wei Wang’s “The Swan,” first commissioned for Ballet BC in 2017.
On Sundays of performance weekends we will introduce our “Tea at the Ballet” with exotic teas from local tea vendor, Acquired Taste Tea. Come early and enjoy chatting with the other Sunday patrons. Bring your kids, your mom, and meet some friends for a pre-show gab. Season passes are a great way to ensure you don’t miss anything! Get yours below.
In addition to our three mainstage shows, Be Merry, our festive December variety show, returns to the Varscona Theatre. Due to the overwhelming response to last year’s event, we are adding a third date. Save the dates in your calendar for Dec 12, 13, and 14th. We promise this will be one of the most enjoyable events of your holiday season.
