Well, we have returned from Ottawa! Being back in Philadelphia is a little strange (especially since it is 60 degrees!), but it is definitely nice to have a few days off before opening night at the Academy of Music.
Performing at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa was such a wonderful experience. Pennsylvania Ballet was received with standing ovations every single show! Collaborating with a different orchestra and crew was thrilling and experiencing life in a different city out of the country was definitely memorable! I hope that we can return sometime soon to The National Arts Centre.
Here is a final cast and crew photo after our second to last show:
It is now time to brace ourselves for the performances in Philadelphia! The dancers are resting, icing, and receiving physical therapy as much as they can to prepare for the shows.

There is so much more to come this Nutcracker season as our shows in Philadelphia run from December 10th until the 31st! Stay tuned for more inside info regarding the dancers, shows and other fun tidbits!
See you soon!
