BALLET KELOWNA’S 2023/24 SEASON, THE SEASON OF DRAMA

RISING ACTION (November 3 + 4, 2023 / 7:30PM)

The Rising Action program features an engrossing line up of works including Kirsten Wicklund’s exhilarating The Forever Part, Simone Orlando’s soulful Studies of Cash, a tribute to country legend Johnny Cash, and the world premiere of Jake Poloz’s cathartic The Royal We.

TURNING POINT (February 16 + 17, 2024 / 7:30PM)

The Turning Point program is a powerful mix of two dramatic world premieres. With Robert Stephen's ballet adapted from Kat Sandler’s award-winning play Mustard and Simone Orlando’s reflective Delicate Fire dedicated to late composer Jocelyn Morlock, this program showcases new narrative dance works with gripping turning points.

MACBETH (May 3 + 4, 2024 / 7:30PM)

Alysa Pires’ wildly successful theatrical ballet, Macbeth, makes its return to the stage. The timeless themes of ambition, power, and corruption that characterize William Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy infuse this high-stakes piece with drama and suspense. An original score of toil and trouble by Canadian composer Adam Sakiyama and stunning visuals by Okanagan artist Jane Everett set the scene for an exploration of psychological decay.

Don’t miss the reprise of this thrilling mix of dance, music, and spectacle!

The commissioning of Macbeth was made possible through the generosity of Leadership Giving Donors Dr. Adrian Bak and Patricia Ainslie.
