Alberta Ballet: Hansel and Gretel at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium Tickets

Hansel and Gretel, the amazing and most wondrous dance production performed by the Alberta Ballet, will carry all your senses into a magical world where sugarplums and naughty fairies are the order of the day. It's a must-see for fans of the art, and on March 24th, people of all ages will be enchanted by this beautiful spectacle that's sure to please even the most jaded critics.

Weaving its magical spell again, this timeless story will whisk you away to the world of childhood wonder. It's a story that resonates with almost every tale. Artistic Director Francesco Ventriglia perfectly captures the essence of Neil Gaiman's words: "Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

In this timeless tale, siblings Hansel and Gretel face their own personal "dragon" — poverty, hardship, and a wicked witch — emerging victorious through unwavering resilience and courageous hearts. It's a story as old as time, but with the Alberta Ballet's own twist. You're about to meet some of the most incredible characters as the cast takes you through a breathtaking reenactment of the classic story. Get ready for the Sandman, Gingerbread Guys, and an Ice Cream Witch as Hansel and Gretel battle this amazing world of wonder.

It's a feast for the eyes, too. The projections, lighting design, and costumes make it visually stunning, but the dancing remains classically grounded for all the purists out there. Essentially, it has something for everyone!!! Several of the company's lead dancers perform multiple roles during the show, which is sure to be a hit with spectators who will come from near and far just to be part of it.

For longtime balletgoers, Loughlan Prior's colorful and inventive take on a classic tale is on full display in Hansel and Gretel. The technically and artistically stunning choreography makes this season's must-see show the talk of the town and the perfect excuse to take the kids on a fun outing. Don't delay in securing your tickets right here and now, as they won't be around for long.
