Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet will be observing several milestones in the coming days.  

For one thing, they’ll be celebrating their 85th anniversary providing world class ballet to the city. They’ll also be presenting the final show of their 2024-2025 season, a mixed-repertoire presentation called Bolero & Other Works. 

The company will also be celebrating artistic director André Lewis, who will be stepping aside after a 50-year career with the company, spending over half of that time as its artistic director. 

Lewis joined Nolan Kehler on Morning Light for an extended interview about his work with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, first as a dancer and then as artistic director.
