Does anyone know of a working site for BNdC ? I've been visiting this address for the last weeks:
http://www.balletcuba.cu/
but the site does not seem to work (it worked fine a few months ago).

I'm trying to find out their touring program for the coming months. They were supposed to be around my part of the world from 14th to 30th of December with Don Q and Giselle but there has been no promotion, no ads, no announcements and I'm starting to wonder. If anyone can give a link to their touring schedule or more information it will be very much appreciated.

Couldn't find a website of their complete touring schedule.
I know that they are in Hamilton, Ontario quite a bit for the Nutcracker and next year for Hansel and Gretel and Giselle. Here's their Hamilton schedule.

The BNC official web site is out of order for now. Here is the last update on their touring schedule.

Hope it helped...

thank you!
The question remains though because that's the schedule i had. Two weeks before the announced date there is no no official announcement or any trace of advertising in the media here. Odd...

I know...BNC PR services are unexistent, and for some odd reason, their web site, very active in the past, has been closed for a long time...and no word on when are they planning to re open it... Sorry for not being more helpful...

With the help of a good friend (thanks jm ) I finally found a solution to this mystery.

The official site is not at the url given by wikipedia but here:
http://www.balletcuba.cult.cu/
The new url now appears on the 13th page of google results for the keywords: ballet cuba and on the 3rd page of google results for: Ballet National de Cuba, hopefully it will climb higher as time goes by.

If you click on Presentationes you get the program of their tours for 2008. Their tour in my city is December 2008, not December 2007 as wikipedia claimed. A few other points are cleared up by that schedule.
