Critiques

    • “The Orchestra, under David Briskin's direction, played composer Joby Talbot's score, complete with its moments of Danny Elfman-like moodiness, with commendable commitment.”

      Toronto Star

      Les Aventures d’Alice au pays des merveilles

    • “Prokofiev was given his just desserts by conductor David Briskin and the ballet Orchestra. This production makes one very aware of the composer’s melancholy-tinged score, animated by choreography that captures the dark side.”

      The Globe and Mail

      Cendrillon

    • “The Orchestra shines, doing its utmost under the baton of David Briskin to transform Minkus' score into a thing of memorable beauty”

      Toronto Star

      Don Quichotte

    • “Canada is to be envied for its National Ballet, not only because of their fantastic dancers, but also because of its Orchestra.”

      Stuttgarter Zeitung, Germany

      Soldiers’ Mass

    • “A big shout-out to the National Ballet Orchestra and conductor David Briskin who performed superbly. Ratmansky’s choreography makes one listen to the music more keenly, and the orchestra joined with the dancers to give Prokofiev a grand airing.”

      Ludwig Van Toronto

      Roméo et Juliette
