Reviews

    • “Genevieve Penn Nabity is the real McCoy. She has grace, poise, personality and technique to spare. She makes music visible… Nabity reveals a dramatic flair and emotional range that brings her character vividly to life. She is no longer a star in the making. She’s made it.”

      Toronto Star

      Cinderella

    • “Genevieve Penn Nabity in a radiantly memorable debut performance as the Sugar Plum Fairy… Nabity looked so serene as she negotiated James Kudelka’s choreography that you’d think she’d been dancing the role for years… Her musical instincts are so spot-on that movement flows from her body with a clarity and spontaneity that makes the artifice of ballet classicism look totally natural.”

      The Globe and Mail

      The Nutcracker

    • “Genevieve Penn Nabity… is really starting to get noticed, and rightly so... with lovely classical technique and wonderful musicality.”

      Ludwig van Toronto
