'It was magical': Terre Bleu Lavender Farm hosts National Ballet of Canada
CBC
It was an evening of hope, joy and release.
For its season finale on Friday, Terre Bleu Lavender Farm, southeast of Guelph, hosted the National Ballet of Canada. "It was magical," said Ian Baird, CEO of the farm. "We thought that bringing people to Terre Bleu, in a safe way, to witness the arts that have been repressed for so long, all of us have held back in so many different ways, we thought this would be a release. This could be a moment of joy for everybody and a way to give us all a bit of mental health, mental break," said Baird. More than 270 people turned out to the event that was designed to show a "behind-the-scenes look" at the National Ballet, how the dancers warm up, train, rehearse and perform. Baird said it was an emotional experience for all, including the group that had not performed live for more than 18 months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. "The joy that the dancers were feeling to be able to perform … that feeling you could see it in the dancers movements, you can feel it in the music and you could see it in all the people that were witnessing it.
