A Canadian interpretation of an old classic- beautiful. I missed some of the more classic costuming and thought the bear was ridiculous and distracting. But the choreography and overall effect was lovely! Well done children's roles, and there was a great balance of strong men's roles with principal ballerina.

Attended the ballet with our family. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it......even my son-in laws that had never been to a professional ballet. Great music, wonderful dancing and an easy to follow story for those new to ballet.

One of the best ballets I have ever seen. The story was clearly enacted through the dance and the music selections were phenomenal. I enjoyed every minute.

The choreography of this performance told this classic and romantic tragedy amazingly well. It became clear to me that, as presented, it is a story made for the ballet. Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet was thoroughly entertaining!

Going into the ballet I was concerned how a dance troupe would capture the style, drama, and passion of this story. But in end it exceeded expectation in every way. Very well done.

The first ballet I ever saw was "Gaite Parisienne," and now I seem to have come full circle: Offenbach music (but lots of other well-chosen pieces by Ibert, Shostakovich, Strauss Jr, ...), love story, can-can, etc. This production is remarkable in the way that it blends classical steps with cabaret, and avoids the obvious trap of campy-kitschy wink-wink naughtiness, not that there isn't a little of that. The choreography points up the music with great finesse. I was really afraid that a moonlight pas de deux to "Clair de Lune" would be over the top, but the dancers sold it. Sets, wardrobe, lead dancers, all first rate. After seeing it once, I went back & saw it again, liking it even more the second time. My only criticism is that the death scene is a little drawn out. (But nothing like the awful insect-like spasms of Tybalt's death in MacMillan's R&J.)

This ballet is lovely. It has everything--amazing dancing, romance, excitement, violence and passion. The costumes are magnificent and the stage sets are wonderful. The only thing it lacks is a live orchestra. Even with a good sound system, the msuic at times was tinny.

While the ballet does not recreate the story told in the movie, it is similar. The music knitted together for the soundtrack is seamless. The Can Can and the Tango scenes are amazing.

An exquisite and unforgettable performance by the RWB. A perfect combo of romance, comedy and tragedy. Of ballet, tango and the can-can. And of absinthe and green fairies. Beautiful choreography by Jorden Morris. All the movements and expressions told a seamless story with a perfect marriage between dance and acting. Highly recommend it. I have never been so drawn into the story of a ballet.

I recommend the Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet "Moulin Rougue." It kept my rap attention, I was so focused on the performers actions. Since there are no words, you have to watch their facial expressions. I thought they should have done more with the "Can Can" dance with the whole company. It is a good idea to read the synopsis first, so you can follow the story line. I thought it was a great idea for a ballet. FANTASTIC!

Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company created a truly sparkling rendition of Moulin Rouge. The dancers were spectacular !! Was very impressed by their precision, musicality and bravura. Though I know and love all the musical pieces selected for the show, I felt that it lacked a central musical theme -- something to tie the program together. At times I felt I was watching several dance recital pieces joined together rather than a single story with a focused, central theme. Perhaps if a love theme were worked into the program that identified the lovers (Nathalie and Mathieu) it might give the program a more cohesive storyline. The sets, costumes and lighting designs created a truly magical environment for the dancers. Thank you RWB for a delightful trip to the Moulin Rouge.

Great dancing, great music (loved that they included Debussy's "Claire de Lune") and bright and vivid costumes. The ballet did a wonderful job of bringing the Moulin Rouge to life on stage. I would recommend to any of my friends!
