Well, at least no one will be able to claim they didn’t have time to pack. Karen Kain, artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada, announced Monday that her company will be England-bound — in two years’ time.

The NBOC will perform at London’s Sadler’s Wells from April 16-21, 2013. The itinerary will include a mixed program featuring Crystal Pite’s Emergence and James Kudelka’s The Four Seasons (April 16-17) as well as the company’s new production of Alexei Ratmansky’s Romeo And Juliet (April 19-21).

Ratmansky’s new R&J is slated to make its world première in Toronto’s Four Seasons Centre this coming Nov. 16. The NBOC last visited London in 1987.
