From world-class performances in the concert-hall, to innovative, international dance and critically-acclaimed theatre, the National Arts Centre’s stages have hosted and produced some of the most exciting performing arts events of the last thirty-five years.  We want to celebrate that accomplishment and to thank our audiences for years of loyal support.  The NAC is the nation’s premiere centre for the performing arts and with tickets this affordable, it’s easy to find out why first-hand.

Treat yourself to some of the best dance from around the world – see highlights from the Canril Ballet Series, including the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stunning Carmina Burana, or the National Ballet of Canada’s acclaimed Cinderella.  Can’t get enough superb dance? How about Eifman Ballet’s La Gisele Rouge, Alberta Ballet’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses and the passionate beauty of Het Nationale Ballet’s Carmen (also part of the Canril Ballet Series).
