“We are very much looking forward to welcoming the wonderful artists and creative team of Royal Winnipeg Ballet back to Vancouver,” said Medhi Walerski, artistic director of Ballet BC, in a release. “With such an enthusiastic response last season after a break from the stage, audiences reminded us just how much this exceptional production means to them.
“Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score evokes memories and nostalgia that brings people and families together. It’s a special experience for all ages at a meaningful time of the year.”
