The National Ballet of Canada returns to the Kennedy Center in January 2013, this time with the East Coast premiere of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Using original music by Joby Talbot, this co-production with London’s Royal Ballet has proven to be a hit since it premiered in 2011 at the Royal Opera House in London. Christopher Wheeldon took inspiration from the classic book by Lewis Carroll to create an energetic ballet which is reflected in Talbot’s lively score.

‘A brilliantly theatrical, superbly designed extravaganza of color and costume, madcap action, and fluent dance’
—The New York Times
