Alberta Ballet
A ballet of love and destiny unfolds beneath the tower
Alberta Ballet closes the season with Notre Dame de Paris, a rarely seen masterpiece by Roland Petit. Based on Victor Hugo’s novel, this ballet follows Esmeralda, a free-spirited dancer, and Quasimodo, the devoted bell-ringer, as they navigate love, obsession, and tragedy. With bold storytelling and breathtaking choreography, Notre Dame de Paris portrays desire, power, and sacrifice.
An unexpected fusion of dance, fashion, and theatrical brilliance sets this production apart. Petit’s choreography captures Quasimodo’s struggle and Esmeralda’s spirit. Enhancing this legendary work are costumes designed by Yves Saint Laurent, inspired by Notre Dame’s stained glass. Rich jewel tones and striking silhouettes bring medieval Paris to life, complemented by Maurice Jarre’s evocative score, performed live.
Notre Dame de Paris is a theatrical gem with its sweeping drama, exquisite design, and powerful choreography. Witness the grandeur and artistry of this extraordinary production—one that may not return for years.
