Queensland Ballet's "The Nutcracker"
Step into a world of enchantment as The Australian Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty at QPAC’s Lyric Theatre.
This timeless tale of love and triumph is brought to life through Marius Petipa’s iconic choreography and Tchaikovsky’s soaring score, performed live by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. With additional choreography by David McAllister and opulent designs by Gabriela Tylesova, this production is a feast for the senses.
When the beautiful Princess Aurora is cursed into a century-long slumber by the wicked fairy Carabosse, only true love’s kiss can awaken her. As the kingdom stirs from its sleep, fairies flutter, bluebirds soar, and good conquers evil in a dazzling celebration of classical ballet.
Whether you're a lifelong ballet lover or discovering it for the first time, The Sleeping Beauty promises a magical escape into a fairytale world.
