The Fiddle and The Drum is a collaboration between Jean Grand-Maitre, Alberta Ballet’s Artistic Director, and renowned singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell. The piece was first performed by Alberta Ballet in February 2007 as one of several pieces in a series entitled Dancing Joni and Other Works.
Performed by 28 dancers from Alberta Ballet, the work features the following songs from Ms. Mitchell's musical repertoire: The Fiddle and The Drum, The Beat of Black Wings, For The Roses, Passion Play, Sex Kills, If I Had a Heart, The Three Great Stimulants, If and Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
The Fiddle and The Drum explores a series of modern themes, including the contemporary follies of mankind, from our aggressive and warring nature to the seemingly unstoppable destruction of our environment. These themes are studied through Ms. Mitchell’s music and artwork and Mr. Grand-Maître’s choreography.
Welcome to the Education and Outreach pages! Through the COC’s education and outreach programs, children, youth and adults from all backgrounds have the opportunity to discover, explore and create opera in schools and community settings across Ontario.

Our school programs bring the magic of opera to the classroom and the theatre through workshops, tours, in-school programs, and student dress rehearsals.

"School students are the COC’s future audience, so the Tour is vital to the growth of opera in Canada. As well, it’s always immensely rewarding to introduce young people to this exciting art form. Our future is education, education, education." Richard Bradshaw, late General Director
Programs
The programs at the National Ballet are wide-ranging. With many being offered for free or at a very reasonable charge, teachers, students and the public are invited to explore the world of ballet.
Overview
Ballet fans of all ages are invited to visit the National Ballet's studios for a rare glimpse of the dancers rehearsing for the upcoming summer season.
In addition, costumes, pointe shoes, wigs, props and set models will be on display, with ballet experts on hand to answer any behind-the-scenes questions. Specific children's activities include dressing up in ballet costumes, arts and crafts, colouring and movement classes.
The Open House takes place at The Walter Carsen Centre for The National Ballet of Canada located at 470 Queens Quay West
The National Ballet of Canada's Open House is completely free of charge, and no reservations are required. Non-perishable food donations for the Daily Bread Food Bank are gratefully accepted.
Do you know a young person age 7 to 12 who would like to learn about the creative side of being a dancer?
Since 1994 the National Ballet has offered the Creating Dances Summer Camp right in the same studios our dancers use to rehearse. The premise of the camp is not to train children in a dance technique, but to encourage them to explore their imagination and creativity using the disciplines of dance and music. Professional artists facilitate this process by providing the participants with a general dance and music vocabulary from which they can begin to create their own dance and music work. A design aspect is also included for a final presentation for friends and family on the final day. No previous dance experience is required; only a desire to have fun, to be creative and to dance!
The National Ballet is continually expanding this section of our website to provide current and interesting resources. This information will be of interest to those new to the art form as well as seasoned ballet-goers. Teachers, students, families and fans of all ages will certainly find these Ballet Notes, study guides and activities valuable and entertaining.
Published exclusively by The National Ballet of Canada, Ballet Notes are detailed guides to the company's dynamic repertoire. Whether you are a first-time ballet goer or a long-time subscriber Ballet Notes offer you fascinating and enlightening information that will enrich your ballet experience.
