National Ballet of Canada

New

In 1951, Sydney Mulqueen, Pearl Whitehead and Aileen Woods had a vision to create Canada’s very own ballet company. Together, they galvanized a community of likeminded individuals, and raised funds to bring Celia Franca from England to Toronto. With this act, The National Ballet of Canada was founded and solidified its place in Canadian history with its inaugural performance at The Eaton Auditorium on November 12, 1951.

Today, the company is one of the top international ballet companies in the world, with 70 dancers and its own orchestra and a permanent home at The Walter Carsen Centre in Toronto.
