Programme Information

Welcome!

Welcome to Adieu, a celebration of Canadian creativity and a tribute to the extraordinary career of Principal Dancer and Choreographic Associate Guillaume Côté as he takes his final bow with The National Ballet of Canada after 26 years.

We are proud to share the world premiere of Guillaume’s Grand Mirage, perform his acclaimed piece Boléro and introduce two exciting Canadian dancemakers to our mainstage: Jennifer Archibald and our newest Choreographic Associate Ethan Colangelo.

Warmly,
