Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal

Sponsoring a performance by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal is an excellent way of enhancing your visibility with a particular clientele. You can support the company’s performances during the season as a title sponsor, matinee or evening sponsor or Educational Matinées partner. Your status as a partner will be acknowledged at Place des Arts during performances and in our communications tools. A private evening, for instance a cocktail reception and a behind-the-stage tour for your clients and partners, can also be arranged to better meet your needs. Consult the Performances section for more details on the coming season.

Ever since the company was founded, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal has been one of the country’s leading cultural ambassadors. It has performed in Canada, the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Last year alone, the company gave a total of 75 shows in 11 cities, connecting with 127 000 spectators. Les Grands Ballets is one of the few cultural institutions in Canada that establishes reciprocal agreements with their counterparts on the international stage. In the summer of 2009, the company embarked on its first-ever Middle Eastern tour, as part of celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel. The tour was launched in Tel Aviv and continued to Jerusalem, then went on to Egypt, Germany and Slovenia. In 2010, Les Grands Ballets was notably invited to perform at the Venice Biennale. The company is also regularly presented in the United States in the autumn, notably at the Jacob's Pillow and Fall for Dance festivals.

From July 15 to 31th, the company returned to China 27 years after having last toured the country! Its dancers took to the stages of Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Guangzhou Opera House.
