    Despite Covid They Performed

    by Thyra on 12/6/21Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    This production was different from past Nutcracker events. There seemed to be less dancers and scenes, although the performers were fantastic as always. The staff at Jubilee seemed more gracious about access to seating. Late comers were welcomed to their seats without consequence. Though less performers on stage, there were more attendants in public areas to support admissions, and screening. The experience was not the same as pre covid but it was wonderfully similar. I appreciated the chance to enjoy public festivities and feel safe. Thank you all.

    I love the ballet, or what it used to be.

    by Ratking247 on 12/12/19Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    I love the ballet. I was in this ballet when I was a kid and it was an amazing experience for me. The show was amazing but my in audience experience was less than. Someone was snoring behind me. There were children crying and talking loudly with their parents not caring who they were affecting around them. People were eating aggressively loud snacks with even louder crinkly plastic. I remember when people could sit through a 2 hour show and not need to eat, when did the ballet become a movie theatre with snacks. The ballet was wonderful, but my experience, less than.
