April 23 to 26, 20265 performancesThéâtre MaisonneuveThe blue hour: that fleeting moment between day and night when the sky veils itself in a diaphanous blue. A suspended in-between, a wavering between what was and what will be, between birth and mourning.
The passion for dance expressed in every way
This is the mission embraced by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, founded by Ludmilla Chiriaeff. While it is achieved through the company’s creations, it also extends to its involvement in the Canadian dance community. This includes offering recreational activities in its studios and supporting the National Centre for Dance Therapy. The aim is to highlight the benefits of dance while igniting a passion for the art in anyone who is drawn to it. This commitment also led to the creation of The Nutcracker Fund, which introduces thousands of children to ballet each year.
Renowned for their excellence, creativity, and boldness, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens are fully engaged in their community while also shining on stages around the world.
