Les Grands Ballets Canadiens is Montreal's ballet company, and its 2026-2027 season is the occasion for a visit to the city's dance scene. The season's listed dates are June 3 to 6, 2027, so the company's performances fall across that short run in June.
What to expect
The company's programming, as described for this season, spans two broad styles: classical tradition and bold contemporary creation. That range suits both visitors who know ballet well and those who are curious about what the art form looks like today. Going to see a company in its home city also gives a sense of how dance is part of local cultural life, rather than a distant event.
Why go
- A chance to watch a company based in Montreal, performing in the city where it is rooted
- A programme that moves between classical and contemporary dance
- An evening suited to people who care about the performing arts
Around the visit
Montreal's cultural heart is the setting for the season, and the city offers plenty to fill the hours before or after a performance. Plan a dinner, a walk through the neighbourhood, or time to look at the city's other arts venues, so that the evening at the ballet becomes part of a longer trip.
Because the season is set for June 2027, check the company's own listings closer to the time for the exact performance schedule, venues and tickets before making travel plans.
