To tell a tale of love, lights and Life in such a graceful breath-taking spectacle such as the one witnessed last night at Love Lies Bleeding could only have been executed by Choreographer Jean Grand-Maitre.
Sir Elton John would be impressed (if he showed up) and would surely shed a tear at the opening scene of Act 2. A depiction of love so strong and universal danced gracefully across the stage and pirouetted into my heart.
I have to give a Very Loud SHOUT OUT to Martine Bertrand and Leslie Norgate two of the very important costume and millinery designers that were one part of a whole that made this production the epic success that it was.
But sadly all good things eventually come to an end… and at the end after three curtain calls, cracked and sore hands from clapping and a now raspy voice from abusing my larynx I can honestly say that was the BEST performance I’ve seen to date.
Done and done – up next season… The Alberta Ballet tributes Sarah mclachlan. Hold on to your Chandelier hat Sir Elton, your title of BEST performance will surely be at risk here!
