The National Ballet of Canada: Relaxed Performance of Pinocchio Act II 

The National Ballet of Canada is pleased to present a Relaxed Performance of Pinocchio Act II at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. This performance is designed to welcome the Disability Community into the National Ballet’s artistic space. Families and individuals who usually find access to the arts limited can enjoy a live ballet performance in a more approachable environment.   

This abbreviated performance will be approximately 50 minutes in duration.   

The National Ballet offers tickets at a nominal price for Relaxed Performances and is committed to creating an atmosphere where attendees feel comfortable and cared for, such as quiet rooms, dimmed auditorium lighting, sound dampening headphones and audio description. Additionally, there will be an American-Sign-Language (ASL) interpreter on stage during the introduction and throughout the performance.  

To prepare guests for their visit to the theatre, venue and video guides are available.  

Tickets are $25 for Adults and $15 for Children under the age of 13.   

The National Ballet is thrilled to invite ConnectAbility community members to an exclusive advance booking window which is open NOW before the public on sale on Wednesday, February 4.  

About Relaxed Performances

To ensure everyone feels comfortable and the number of people in attendance isn’t overwhelming for anyone, tickets for this event will be limited.
