Canada’s Ballet Jörgen will celebrate its 30th Anniversary with a special performance of the original full-length ballet Anastasia. Touring across Canada, the company will perform this ballet in 33 communities across 9 provinces. The Toronto performance will take place on March 31st at 7:30 pm at the Betty Oliphant Theatre.

Choreographed by Bengt Jörgen and set to an original full orchestral score by Russian/Canadian composer Ivan Barbotin, Anastasia tells the tragic story of the seventeen-year-old Grand Duchess and the mystery surrounding her disappearance in the summer of 1918.

The human drama of a young girl born to privilege and cast out into a world of immense heartache proves an extraordinarily gripping tale. This ballet explores the emotions, aspirations, and affections of this lovable yet controversial character as the world transforms around her.
