Royal Winnipeg Ballet presents The Mix

Concluding the season with fiery passion, our mixed-repertoire show is a triple bill celebrating some of ballet’s most dynamic choreographic voices. The program features Hans van Manen’s 5 Tangos, a masterpiece of fluidity and subtle drama, presented in tribute to the recently passed Dutch master; George Balanchine’s Rubies, a sparkling display of technical brilliance and playful energy; and a striking new work by Canadian choreographer Alysa Pires, honouring The Tragically Hip on the tenth anniversary of Gord Downie’s passing.

This program embodies the season’s theme of duality, balancing tradition with innovation, narrative depth with pure spectacle, and timeless artistry with fearless experimentation.
Audiences are invited to experience an evening of exhilarating dance that exemplifies RWB’s commitment to artistic excellence, emotional resonance, and the fearless pursuit of new ideas in the world of ballet.
