"The National Ballet of Canada brought their gold-medal game [with 24 Preludes by Chopin] to Vancouver's Cultural Olympiad." - Maclean's, 2010
By turns physical, delicate and humorous, 24 Preludes by Chopin shows categorically why Marie Chouinard is admired as one of the most exhilarating choreographers at work today. The mixed programme also includes A Suite of Dances by Jerome Robbins and James Kudelka's The Four Seasons.
