Hello Lesli, I am sorry to confirm that in response to your question, the Joni Mitchells ballet production has been postponed. For ease of reference, I have attached a copy of our companys Curtain Call to better explain the reason for the postponement of the production and information regarding the new production, Class Acts. If you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact us at 403 245 4222 extn 525. Thank you and enjoy the Holiday Season. CURTAIN CALL ALBERTA BALLET E-NEWS *Joni Mitchell World Premiere Ballet Postponed * The Joni Mitchell World Premiere Ballet presented by Alberta Ballet has been postponed. Joni Mitchell has come to the conclusion that she cannot produce a song list that encompasses all that she needs to say about the theme of Love in one ballet. Joni Mitchell has never been known for compromising when it comes to her art and music, and this is no exception. At Alberta Ballet we fully understand and respect her decision, as we know that this artist's extraordinary integrity is exactly what has brought her to the forefront of the most innovative and uncompromising art of the past century.

This is a beautiful and haunting rendition of 'Lakota'. Without all the production and strident vocal delivery that accompanied the song on 'Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm', a beautiful melody comes through with a compassionate, heartfelt lyric. The repetition of 'pity me' still bothers me but still, with just Joni on guitar and Larry Klein on bass, this is a really nice performance. > Mark in Seattle Mark, I forgot to ask: what bothers you about 'pity me'?

I remember one lister saying that there weren't many ballet fans on the list, but I think we actually had a lot of good talk when the first ballet was touring. So what IS going on with the new ballet? Both the Alberta Ballet site and Joni dot com still have the performance dates up and unchanged. I know ticket purchasers have received a notice that... what? It is cancelled? Postponed? Have there been official press releases from both camps? What is the speculation? My sense is that Joni decided that the theme was too big for the ballet, and the project not working. Has she said this? Sorry if all of this has been answered!
