The RWB is a treasure! I have since lived in other cities where the Ballet companies are proficient, yet clearly lacking the amazing quality and prestige of the RWB(at triple the cost of what a ticket costs in Winnipeg). Truly, I recommend anyone with an interest in dance to take advantage of the RWB if you are in Winnipeg.(Hint: It is a great date to take a lady on, fella’s. A lot of little girl’s dream of being dancer’s at one time or another ;) When I was young my Mom bought us yearly season tickets and it benefitted me in so many ways! Choreographer Mark Godden and Conductor Bramwell Tovey came to be highly regarded Canadian artists and it was a pleasure to see their career’s progress. This is a great avenue for parent’s to expose children to wonderful costume’s, music, stories and artists.
