Sarah and the Alberta Ballet

[Empirejim]

I hope this Ballet thing comes to Montreal as I would go but really am not a big nut for ballet. Seeing how it involves Sarah well, it is a must.

Ballet BC’s 2013-14 season will include seven world premieres, the Vancouver premiere of a ballet set to Sarah McLachlan’s music, and a performance at the prestigious Jacob’s Pillow dance festival. The season was announced on Tuesday.

As previously reported by The Globe and Mail, Alberta Ballet will bring Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, choreographed by artistic director Jean Grand-Maître, to McLachlan’s neck of the woods, with performances November 14-16 at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre (following shows in Victoria November 8-9).
