As a result of escalator upgrade construction at the Jubilee Auditorium, there will be limited escalator access for this engagement. These improvements will bring the benefit of upgraded facilities; however, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Should the use of the stairs pose a problem, please take extra time to arrive at the theatre as the elevator may be busier than usual.

More about this event
Love flutters on delicate wings in this Scottish tale.Alberta Ballet opens the season with a dramatic first for the company: a debut of La Sylphide in full-length.
The story follows the passionate highs and lows of a Scottish farmer who becomes enchanted with a beautiful spirit. Drawn into an ethereal supernatural world, he finds himself torn between loyalty to his fiancée and the allure of the other-worldly.
The exquisite handmade costumes will be incorporated into Alberta Ballet’s production assets and the new sets will be designed by Alberta Ballet Executive Producer Malgorzata Szablowska and constructed by Alberta Ballet crew.
The timeless themes of love, longing, and the human desire for the unattainable continue to captivate audiences, and Alberta Ballet’s
interpretation promises to celebrate the company's exceptional talent.
This quintessential white tutu romantic ballet will dance its way into your heart.
