The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition – Holiday magic is made year after year by Ballet Jörgen’s Canadian treasure to Tchaikovsky’s well-loved score, this delightful classic is a family favorite with an iconic Canadian maple twist.

Swan Lake – First premiered in celebration of the company’s 25th anniversary in 2012, this distinctive production of Swan Lake reimagines the beloved ballet through a Canadian lens. The production retains the elegance and drama of the classical masterpiece while transporting audiences to the historic Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia.
