TORONTO - Citing "unprecedented fiscal pressures with live performance touring," the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Tuesday cancelled January performance engagements of Svengali at Toronto's Sony Centre, Hamilton's Hamilton Place and London's John Labatt Centre. All ticket orders will be refunded.

Meanwhile engagements at Ottawa's National Arts Centre (Jan. 26-28) and in British Columbia in April remain unaffected and the company plans a Toronto return to premier a new work created for the company by Twyla Tharp.
