Annual Report - 2021/22 Full

Celebrating the 2021/22 Season

Cornell Wright, Chair, Board of Directors

Welcome to The National Ballet of Canada’s Annual General Meeting, an opportunity to reflect on the highlights of the 2021/22 season and share the company’s financial picture heading into a new year of dance.

This is the first time since the pandemic began that we have been able to offer an “in person” component to the AGM and I want to take a moment to appreciate what that means –coming together in support of a company and art form we treasure, watching the dancers at work in the studio and celebrating career milestones with colleagues and friends. It’s amazing to see how far we have come since the earliest days of the pandemic.

The 2021/22 season turned a spotlight on the National Ballet’s determination to make an unforgettable return to live performance. We launched our first outdoor residency at Harbourfront Centre as part of Sharing the Stage, reunited with our audiences at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, welcomed a new artistic leader in Hope Muir – the first Joan and Jerry Lozinski Artistic Director in the company’s history – and closed the season with sold-out performances of our new Swan Lake, staged and directed by

Artistic Director Emerita Karen Kain, followed by a long-awaited celebration of Karen’s extraordinary life in dance. Despite many unknowns, we were able to reach more than 106,215 audience members over the course of the season.

These achievements are the result of a collective effort within our community to rebuild from the pandemic. Our donors and audiences saw us through the worst of those early days and they continue to provide invaluable support today, giving generously to our donor programmes and Together for Ballet campaign, renewing subscriptions and staying with us through setbacks. Thank you for all that you do to support and grow the art of dance in Canada through this fabulous company.

I offer a special welcome and congratulations to Hope Muir, who made her official start with the National Ballet in January, just after our run of The Nutcracker was cut short due to Omicron. Hope stepped into this period of uncertainty with optimism, fearlessness and vision, and she is leading us into the current season with these qualities in abundance. Thank you, Hope.

I also want to acknowledge Executive Director Barry Hughson for his absolute commitment to making a full return to live performance, along with my fellow Board Members, for their consistent partnership and guidance.

Finally, our artists. Everything we do on behalf of the National Ballet is inspired by your incredible talent and dedication to dance. Seeing you back on stage at the height of your powers has been the greatest gift of the 2021/22 season.

Welcome Hope Muir

On January 1, 2022, Hope Muir officially began her role as Artistic Director, in a position now named by a generous gift from Joan and Jerry Lozinski. Resolute in her support of dancers, open-minded and ambitious in her programming, Hope is a generous and exciting leader of today.

“My hopes and ambitions for The National Ballet of Canada are to continue the standard of excellence that has been built over the years, cultivate new voices and choreographers, curate a repertoire unlike any in the world, educate our audiences, provide access and have an inclusive, supportive, encouraging working environment. I just want the company to continue to go from strength to strength.”

In Memoriam

The Honourable Paul T. Hellyer

Former Minister of National Defence and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Hellyer passed away on August 8, 2021 after a lifelong career in Canadian politics and public service. Paul was devoted to the performing arts throughout his life and served on the National Ballet’s Board of Directors from 1970 to 1975. Famously, Paul came to the rescue in 1967 when a sidetracked rail car threatened to prevent the company from fulfilling a scheduled performance of The Nutcracker in Vancouver. Understanding the urgency, Paul dispatched a Hercules transport plane from Cold Lake, Alberta to ferry the sets and costumes on time. His longstanding friendship and leadership will be missed.

John Allan Slaight

John Allan Slaight provided years of leadership support to the National Ballet’s artists and ambitions with characteristic warmth and creativity. Together with his wife of 35 years, Emmanuelle Gattuso, Allan invested in landmark new productions as a founding member of The Producers’ Circle and sponsored Principal Dancer Guillaume Côté through Dancers First. Allan also protected the future of the National Ballet by giving generously to the Endowment Foundation.

Allan was a ground-breaking figure in Canadian broadcast journalism and a passionate philanthropist who ensured that his legacy would live on through The Slaight Family Foundation and La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso. He was also a lifelong fan of magic, which suited his zest for life and belief in the impossible. The National Ballet family mourns his passing on September 19, 2021.

Judith R. Wilder (Billie Wilder)

On July 17, 2021, the ballet community lost a wonderful friend in Judith Wilder, who was known affectionately throughout her life as “Billie.” A graduate of Havergal College, McGill University and Lorne Greene’s Radio Academy, Billie was a longtime supporter to the Patrons’ Council, a lovely presence in the studios to watch rehearsals, as well as a cherished member of the Celia Franca Society.
