The Beginning of Forever follows the huge success of both Anima Animus and The Four Seasons as David Dawson’s first commission for The National Ballet of Canada in his role as Resident Choreographer. A trilogy of works that form a sweeping arc, The Beginning of Forever explores the emotional forces that shape us – life, love and ascension – through a prism of movement, memory and meditation. Beginning with “The Journey” and progressing through “The Promise” and “The Truth,” the work traces the human experience from the intensity of the creative act to a realm of memory and longing through the form of neo-classical ballet technique. The Beginning of Forever features an original score by award-winning composer Peter Gregson.

Rudolf Nureyev put The National Ballet of Canada on the world stage in 1972 with his celebrated version of Marius Petipa’s The Sleeping Beauty. Opulent and exacting, it launched an unprecedented era of international touring and acclaim for the young company. Set to Tchaikovsky’s luminous score, this jewel of the repertoire continues to shape artists today, its exquisite choreography spanning the fairy variations of the Prologue to Princess Aurora’s famous Rose Adagio, the effervescent Bluebird pas de deux and the grand finale.
