Ballet pays tribute to Elton John
Saturday, May 1 2010

Alberta Ballet's latest creation is a tribute to one of pop music's biggest icons. The company has created an entire ballet based on the music of Elton John.

Rehearsals for the production, which is described as a "contemporary semi-abstract ballet", are already underway in Banff. "Love Lies Bleeding" is the story of a superfan who takes a journey into the world of pop music superstardom.

Principal dancer Kelley McKinley says it is like nothing he has done before. "We keep jumping up to the next platform and you wonder where is the climax going to be?" Alberta Ballet decided to take on the new project after a successful collaboration with Joni Mitchell.

The production runs May 6-9, 2010 at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary. The audience is asked to dress up like Elton John and ticket holders will get the red carpet treatment on the way - complete with paparazzi.
