Donor Pulls Ballet BC From The Brink

“An anonymous benefactor has chipped in C$42,000 to give 1,000 children a rare holiday treat while saving Ballet BC from imminent financial collapse.” The donor bought and donated 1,000 tickets for the company’s annual Nutcracker presentation (performed by the Moscow Classical Ballet); the income should ensure that the Vancouver company can rehire its dancers for the spring 2009 season.
