Queensland Ballet's "The Sleeping Beauty"
Be drawn into the fairytale world of good versus evil as The Australian Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty. Experience the power of a kiss under the spell of Tchaikovsky’s sweeping score, performed live by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.
This sumptuous production, with original choreography by Marius Petipa and additional choreography by David McAllister, returns with all the enchantment and grandeur of classical ballet. Audiences will be captivated by Gabriela Tylesova’s opulent Renaissance-inspired costumes, grand stage sets, and breathtaking movement.
Cursed by the wicked fairy Carabosse, Princess Aurora falls into a century-long slumber — until the arrival of true love awakens her and the kingdom around her. As the palace stirs to life, fairies dance, bluebirds soar, and good triumphs over darkness in this timeless tale of hope and romance.
A dazzling celebration of classical technique and theatrical beauty, The Sleeping Beauty promises to transport audiences into a magical world of wonder and awe.
