Ballet Kelowna presents the world premiere Macbeth

Ballet Kelowna presents the world premiere of its first-ever commissioned, full-length ballet, Macbeth, choreographed by Canadian Alysa Pires, at the Kelowna Community Theatre on May 6 + 7, 2022 at 7:30pm. It also marks the first time in more than 40 years that a Canadian ballet company has commissioned a female Canadian choreographer to create a full-length work. Originally scheduled to premiere in May 2020, and postponed due to the pandemic, the visceral production features the full Company of 12 dancers, an original score by Dora Award-winning music director, composer, and lyricist Adam Sakiyama, and atmospheric multimedia visuals from Okanagan landscape artist Jane Everett. The commissioning of Macbeth has been made possible through the generosity of Leadership Giving Donors Dr. Adrian Bak and Patricia Ainslie. Tickets and information at balletkelowna.ca
