!
As a result of escalator upgrade construction at the Jubilee Auditorium, there will be limited escalator access between main floor and 1st balcony for this engagement. These improvements will bring the benefit of upgraded facilities; however, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Should the use of the stairs pose a problem, please take extra time to arrive at the theatre as the elevator may be busier than usual.

The past, present, and future of ballet — on one stage.Returning for its third year, The Winter Gala has become an annual event—an electrifying celebration of ballet’s past, present, and future.
