Canada’s Ballet Jörgen Anne of Green Gables -The Ballet® at the Harbourfront Theatre

Canada’s Ballet Jörgen Anne of Green Gables -The Ballet®

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 7:30PM Harbourfront Theatre, Summerside 

Following hugely popular past spring visits to Harbourfront Theatre with Cinderella, Coppelia and Romeo and Juliet, Canada’s Ballet Jörgen return to Summerside this April with their beloved production Anne of Green Gables-The Ballet ® .

Anne of Green Gables – The Ballet® is a playful, colourful and evocative production that will transport audiences to early 20th century Atlantic Canada. With choreography by Bengt Jörgen and based on the beloved Canadian novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables – The Ballet® follows the adventures of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl sent to live on a farm in the fictional town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. The ballet is danced to music from Anne of Green Gables-The Musical ™, composed by Norman Campbell.

The professional company will also be joined on-stage by youth members of local PEI dance schools.

Since publication, the original novel of Anne of Green Gables is believed to have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, and has been translated into more than a dozen languages.

Canada’s Ballet Jörgen was founded in 1987 to support the development and dissemination of Canadian choreography and to bring dance to underserved communities. Since its inception, the company has exclusively danced works created for the company by Canadian and Canada based choreographers and has effectively reached households with low incomes.
