Following the popular response and critical acclaim for our 2008 collaboration on Mozart’s Requiem, Edmonton Opera and Alberta Ballet team up once again, this time using works by two ground-breaking German composers. Although from different eras, Gustav Mahler and Kurt Weill were both visionaries, and each explored how music could be pushed to create a world of its own. Choreographers Emily Molnar and Yukichi Hattori are joined by Edmonton Opera’s Brian Deedrick and Conductor Peter Dala to bring us two world-premiere ballets, each with a focus on the expression of the voice and of the body, and each a journey of both geographic and personal discovery. The pieces are reflective and forward-looking, inviting audiences to celebrate the points at which these two great art forms meet.

All performances begin at 7:30 pm at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium
