The National Ballet of Canada Returns to City Center After 15 Years

The National Ballet of Canada Returns to City Center After 15 Years

The National Ballet of Canada returns to City Center with a program worthy of the fifteen-year wait. The program – which runs from March 30 through April 1, features the US premiere of Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas, the New York premiere of David Dawson’s Anima Animus and Kenneth MacMillan’s Concerto.

The last time the Toronto-based company was here was for the 2008 Fall for Dance Festival.

“The National Ballet’s return to New York City Center marks the company’s first international tour in more than three years. I am thrilled to present a programme that brilliantly showcases the versatility and talent of our artists and introduces New York audiences to two breathtaking new works in Crystal Pite’s Angels’ Atlas and David Dawson’s Anima Animus on a programme with one of ballet’s great legacy works, Kenneth MacMillan's Concerto. I am so pleased to be able to return the company to New York City in my inaugural season and can’t wait to share this powerful programme with our US audience.”

Also on the three-night only program is Alexei Ratmansky’s Songs of Bukovina and Clark Tippet’s Some Assembly Required.

The award-winning Angels’ Atlas was created for the National Ballet in 2020 by internationally acclaimed Canadian choreographer Crystal Pite. A profound work that explores the ephemerality of existence, Angels’ Atlas is set to original music by Owen Belton, choral work by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Morten Lauridsen and unfolds against a morphing wall of light created by designers Jay Gower Taylor and Tom Visser.

Anima Animus is the National Ballet’s first collaboration with British choreographer David Dawson. This high-octane ballet received rave reviews when it made its Canadian premiere in Toronto on March 3, 2023. Anima Animus explores the fluid space between extremes and opposites and Carl Jung’s gendering of the collective unconscious as anima and animus and is set to thrilling music by Ezio Bosso.

Created for Deutsche Oper Ballet in 1966, Kenneth MacMillan’s  Concerto is full of dazzling ensemble work and its sun-kissed palette channels the exuberance and variation in Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major.
