The Sleeping Beauty

The show will take place on November 8th, 2024, at 7:30 pm and feature the enchanting music of Piotr Tchaikovsky. Sleeping Beauty tells the story of Princess Aurora, who is cursed by the evil fairy Carabosse. On her 16th birthday, Aurora pricks her finger and falls into a deep sleep that will last for 100 years. Only true love's kiss from a prince can break the spell and awaken the sleeping beauty. This production of Sleeping Beauty is a stunning masterpiece of classical style, often earning praise from critics as a master class in the genre. It features some of the most iconic dance sequences from the 19th century repertoire. The ballets visuals are equally impressive with lavish sets and costumes that bring the story to life.
