Bio

Elizabeth Lamont is a Principal Artist with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company. She joined the RWB Company as an Apprentice in 2010, was promoted to the Corps de Ballet in 2011, Second Soloist in 2014, Soloist in 2019, and Principal Artist in 2022.

Elizabeth made her principal role debut as Offred in The Handmaid’s Tale: Based on the Novel by Margaret Atwood while still a member of the Corps de Ballet. Her roles with the Company include Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, her long-awaited performance of the dramatic title role in Giselle, Nathalie in Moulin Rouge®  – The Ballet, Edith in Greg Horsman’s La Bayadère, Glinda the Good Witch in the 2019 Canadian premiere of Septime Webre’s The Wizard of Oz, and the Lilac Fairy and the Bluebird pas de deux in The Sleeping Beauty.

She was selected by James Kudelka to perform the show-stopping Summer lead in his ballet The Four Seasons, and performed The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude in 2012 and 2014, working with RWB alumna Laura Graham. A highlight of her career was working with Evelyn Hart to create her own interpretation of The Dying Swan, one of ballet’s most iconic solos.

In 2019, Elizabeth reprised the iconic role of Juliet in Romeo & Juliet, a role she has performed across Canada and on tour in China. For Elizabeth, Juliet remains one of her most cherished roles because of the way it brings together emotion, expression, and classical technique.

Born in Waterloo, Ontario, she began training at the age of four and joined the RWB School Professional Division at 14. She was coached by Evelyn Hart in Toronto for many years during the Company’s summer breaks, and graduated from the RWB School Professional Division in 2010 before immediately joining the Company as an Apprentice. Elizabeth was also featured in a Bravo documentary series during her time at the RWB School, as she learned and performed the role of Clara in Nutcracker with the RWB Company.

She returns to the stage this season after welcoming her daughter in late June 2025. Offstage, she enjoys watching documentaries and going on adventures with her family and friends, with hiking, camping, and rock climbing among her favourites.
