Celebrating Heather Ogden
Special Gala Evening

Tuesday, June 8, 2027

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate Heather Ogden, one of Canada’s most extraordinary artists, as she takes her final bow as Principal Dancer with The National Ballet of Canada after an illustrious 29-year career.
 
The culmination of the National Ballet’s 75th anniversary celebrations, the farewell gala honours Heather's remarkable legacy with the company. This very special evening features excerpts of repertoire significant to Heather's career along with a new work by former Artistic Director James Kudelka created especially for her, renewing a partnership that began in 1998 when Heather joined the National Ballet.
