Alberta Ballet is delighted to present acclaimed guest company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. With performances at Edmonton’s Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium January 16-17 and at Calgary’s Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium January 20- 21, this contemporary ballet marks the first performance of 2015.
New York City's Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo will perform their highbrow, hilarious, & athletically charged program. The incredible show will see the all male-troupe apply breathtaking technical prowess to ridiculously re-interpreted classical ballet favourites, including Swan Lake and Paquita.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Tory Dobrin, this all-male group of professional ballet dancers performs a full range of dance repertoire, bringing audiences to unstoppable laughter by incorporating and exaggerating the quirks, accidents, and underlying incongruities of serious dance.
