Ballet Kelowna is keeping the passion alive in Quesnel
Although Valentine’s Day, the traditional day associated with passion and love, is over, Ballet Kelowna is keeping the flame alive with their upcoming performance of A Grand Passion in Quesnel on Sunday, February 26th.
A Grand Passion includes a mosaic of dance from the classical to the contemporary. From the great ballet traditions of the 19th Century, through the sultry tango bars of Argentina, to the impassioned and tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet – this program will take the audience on a journey through ballet history.
Dances include the magnificent and technically challenging choreography of the pas de trios from Allegro Per Tre and the pas de deux from the romantic Sleeping Beauty, an invigorating look into the sultry dance of love and passion in Tangazzo, and the story of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet Appassionata. Rounding out the program is the 2011 commissioned contemporary ballet north shore, by Montreal choreographer Shawn Hounsell, an avant-garde work of intense physicality and passion juxtaposed against the deep and complex music of British composer Gavin Bryars.
Perfect for date night, Ballet Kelowna will fill The Chuck Mobley Theatre with passionate dance and music on Sunday, February 26th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at Save-On Foods, Bo Peep Boutique, Quesnel Music and C&R Video.
