Ballet Kelowna - Macbeth

This powerful full-length ballet adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy is brought vividly to life through dynamic choreography, a haunting original score and striking multimedia visuals. This compelling production plunges into themes of ambition, power and corruption as dancers portray the doomed rise and fall of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth with dramatic intensity and expressive movement. 

Founded in 2002 in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Ballet Kelowna is a creation-based company that has evolved into a pivotal force within Canada’s dance landscape. Championing the presentation of contemporary ballet, the company’s prolific repertoire resonates with diverse audiences across the country. Ballet Kelowna’s Artistic Director and CEO, Simone Orlando, is an award-winning choreographer and former dancer with Ballet BC and The National Ballet of Canada. 

Ballet Kelowna has been presented in over 90 Canadian communities, including recent debuts in Atlantic Canada and Quebec and has been invited to perform at the Banff Centre for the Arts and Toronto’s Fall for Dance North Festival. Under Orlando’s direction, Ballet Kelowna was named the 2024 Artistic Company of the Year by the BC Live Performance Network (formerly the British Columbia Touring Council) and was an organizational recipient of the Lieutenant Governor’s Arts and Music Award in 2022.
