Alice in Wonderland is a dance performance by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, presented in Montreal at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in the Place des Arts. It is part of the company's 2026-2027 season and runs from June 3 to 6, 2027.
About the production
The ballet marks the first creation by choreographer André Santos for Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. Described as boldly neoclassical, it is inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice stories, drawing on both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Its dancing is set to an original symphonic score by Montrealer Airat Ichmouratov, so the music was composed specially for this work.
Why you might go
This is a good choice for anyone who enjoys classical dance reshaped by a new voice, or for readers who know Carroll's books and want to see them told through movement and orchestral sound. The production sits within a season the company has planned in advance, which makes it a fixed date to plan around.
