Yes! As a benefit of being a subscriber, we’ll hold your seats until April 30, 2025. If you love your seats, you’ll need to renew by that date to keep them. If you decide to subscribe after this date, we can’t guarantee the same seats you had in previous years.

Subscribe by April 1, 2025 to enjoy our largest discount as a thank you for your commitment to supporting the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Please note, prices online include the early bird offer of $40 off and will expire on April 1, 2025 at 11:59PM.

Sorry to hear you are having some troubles renewing, our customer service team is available and ready to help. Our online renewal system is still quite new and we are still working out the best experience for our patrons. If you are renewing for our Full Season (includes Spotlight and On the Edge), we will need to you add them to your cart – they will not automatically be included. If you are having any other issues, please contact our Box Office, they are here to help!

If you have selected mobile tickets, they will be sent out 90 days ahead of the show. If you selected mail out, they will be mailed within 72 hrs of purchasing.

As a renewing subscriber, when you sign in, it should automatically populate your seats from the previous season. If you are renewing for the Full Season (5 performances total!) you will need to add Spotlight and On the Edge to your cart.

At this time, our system automatically “best seats” our patrons based on best available starting in the middle of the theatre, closest to the stage. If you would like to view or change your seats, we are happy to help, please complete your purchase and contact our Box Office and we will get you into a specific seat.

Your service fee allows the RWB to provide a personal and customizable Box Office experience. Without service fees, our organization may have to utilize external ticketing options and our preference is to support local individuals with quality jobs and our patrons with personal level of service.

A portion of your service fee also goes directly to the Centennial Concert Hall or other venues and supports their staff and operations, in turn, supporting local individuals with quality employment and audiences with a quality theatre experience.

Together, we have invested a lot of time in listening, learning and adapting our organization to provide our community with meaningful impact through the art of dance. And we’ve taken a close look at how to build and support our audiences of today, through access to performances, communication and accessibility.

As a result, we are pleased to announce that we have increased the inventory in our lower priced sections, which means you can get closer to the stage for less money, regardless of how old you are!

So, you might not get the discount in the way you have received it in the past, but there is more inventory that is priced more accessibly.

No, unfortunately, promotional discounts cannot be applied retroactively.

Students entering academic grade 6 and up in September 2025 are eligible to audition.

No previous training is required for students aged 12 and under.

To ensure students are relaxed and able to work effectively, all audition classes are closed to observation.

There is no limit to the number of students who may audition in person; virtual auditions are limited to 25 students. Students are strongly encouraged to pre-register.

Students are asked to arrive one hour before their audition start time. This gives enough time to register or check in and warm up. It can be stressful for students if they are late and feel rushed.

All students are asked to bring a photograph of themselves facing front, showing a tendu in second position, with arms in second position. A photo can be taken at the audition for an extra $10 CAD, to be paid at that time. Please do NOT send photos and/or payment for photos in the mail or by email.

Audition classes generally run for one hour and are conducted by members of the RWB School artistic faculty. Applicants audition as a group and will be assessed on talent, aptitude for classical dance, flexibility, coordination, musicality and artistry of motion, and a demonstrated passion for dance.

Students are asked to wear a leotard (bodysuit), tights and soft shoes for their audition class. Pointe shoes are not required.

Students who do not have soft ballet slippers and/or leotard and/or tights are still encouraged to attend the auditions and wear socks and tight-fitting clothes that will allow them to move. Please wear long hair in a tight bun if possible, or off the face.

Students are encouraged to have a water bottle on hand.
