Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Moulin Rouge

(Richardson) Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet is bringing its box office sensation Moulin Rouge® – The Ballet to the Eisemann Center’s Hill Performance Hall stage at 8 p.m. Fri., Feb. 3.

Turn of the century Paris – a city of exquisite contradiction. The heady elixir of personal freedom bred lifestyles both reckless and addictive. Drawn to Paris by the city’s passion, a flame fuelled by the hearts of lovers and the souls of poets, Matthew and Nathalie tempt fate as they seek love and destiny at the infamous cabaret – The Moulin Rouge.

Along with a rousing French soundtrack, Moulin Rouge® – The Ballet features high-kicking choreography and a passionate story of love, ambition and heartbreak.

This ballet has been seen by close to 60,000 people across North America and has elicited cheers and ovations wherever it tours. Become immersed in a vibrant world of breath-taking dance numbers and enchanting musical compositions- a world where dreams are born and love is limitless – The Moulin Rouge.

Moulin Rouge – The Ballet is a triumph … stunningly beautiful … it’s moments like this that make ballet fans out of people who think they don’t like ballet. – Atlanta InTown, 2010
