Celebrate Canadian ballet legend Karen Kain with this booklet of 6 Permanent^TM domestic rate stamps. The special stamp features a dramatic and dynamic black and white photo of Kain in performance, accented with metallic gold.

Kain joined the Corps de Ballet of The National Ballet of Canada in 1969. She was quickly elevated to principal dancer of the company in 1971 after her debut as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake. Kain graced the stage for almost 30 years before retiring from dancing in 1997 – following a cross-country farewell tour.

Karen Kain is recognized as one of the most gifted classical dancers of her era, as well as one of Canada’s most renowned leaders in the arts.

Among her many awards and honours, Kain is a Companion of the Order of Canada, an Officier of France’s Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and a recipient of the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
