The National Ballet of Canada 2019-2020 Season

The National Ballet of Canada 2019-2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Artistic Director Karen Kain‘s time with the company. To celebrate, the season will culminate with her restaging of Swan Lake after Erik Bruhn’s version. New sets and costumes by Gabriela Týlešová along with lighting by Tony Award-winning designer Natasha Katz will complement Ms. Kain’s vision.

“At this point in my career, 50 years on, the thing that continues to drive me is my love for the art form and for the National Ballet. Swan Lake has been a huge part of my artistic life and holds a special place in my heart. With this new staging, I want to accentuate the romantic core and the love story that provides the ballet with its powerful, emotional life.”
