Braids & Heritage

Inspired by the famous novel by Alexandre Dumas fils, Canadian choreographer Peter Quanz creates a powerful narrative ballet in two acts, where intimacy and tragedy intertwine. Here, dance becomes a language of longing, love, and sacrifice carried by a neoclassical choreographic voice.

From William Shakespeare’s ancient Greek forest to Guillaume Côté’s contemporary creation, Midsummer Night Dreams has transcended the centuries without losing any of its mystery.

Choreographed by Fernand Nault to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous score and inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann’s tale, The Nutcracker has, over the decades, grown from a ballet into an enduring family holiday tradition. Its staging exudes timeless poetry and a warmth we are always delighted to rediscover, year after year.
