National Ballet of Canada Opening Program - Principal Casting Announced

Principal casting for The National Ballet of Canada opening program of the 2021-2022 season has been announced. 

From November 11-27, 2021 the company will be performing Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas and George Balanchine’s Serenade at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.

Angels’ Atlas was created by Ms. Pite for the National Ballet in 2020 and explores the impermanence of existence. It received rapturous reviews when it premiered. Set against a morphing wall of light, Angels’ Atlas features original music by Owen Belton and choral pieces by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Morten Lauridsen.

First performed in 1934, Serenade is one of Balanchine’s most iconic ballets and performed by companies the world over. His first original ballet created in the US, Serenade is set to Tchaikovsky’s mournful Serenade for Strings, Op. 48.

This run marks the final performance of Serenade for Sonia Rodriguez and Jillian Vanstone, both who will be retiring from the company this season.
