Exclusive Sneak Peek!
THE ROYAL WINNIPEG BALLET COMPANY AND THE FACULTY CLUB PRESENT:
An Evening of Dinner & Dance • Tuesday, November 8, 2011
This all-inclusive evening is offered exclusively to Faculty Club Members and their guests for a limited time only.
Tickets include, dinner at the Club, return transportation to the TCU
Place and premium main floor seating for Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s
production of Svengali.
“Mark Godden’s choreographic genius brings an explosive new
look at the original master of mind control. RWB’s newest creation
takes its inspiration from a film treatment born of the fevered imagination of international film sensation, Guy Maddin.
Yearning for public recognition, Svengali escapes the repression of
his mother’s ballet studio to a decadent world reminiscent of midcentury Weimar, where he finds the beautiful and malleable young
dancer, Trilby. Under Svengali’s entrancing influence, Trilby is
transformed into the darling of the ballet world, but her star ultimately rises beyond Svengali’s powerful emotional grasp”.
This complex psychological drama will unfold with riveting choreography by the creative powerhouse behind RWB’s Dracula, and
shades of Maddinesque irreverence, as Svengali’s family secrets and
sinister purposes are revealed.”
MENU
House Salad with Fresh Dill, Capers & Red Onion, Dressed with
a Poppy-seed Dressing
Boneless Chicken Ballentine, Braised and Stuffed with
Cabbage, Bacon & Apples on Garlic Confit Potatoes
