This summer Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal travelled to Israel for its historic first tour of the Middle East. On June 1st and 2nd the company performed two of its signature pieces, Noces and Cantata, to audiences in Tel Aviv as part of the city’s 100th anniversary celebration as well as the 60th anniversary of bilateral relations between Canada and the State of Israel. The same bill was also performed in Jerusalem and Cairo, Egypt, which marked the first time a Canadian dance company has performed in Cairo in almost fifteen years.
