A Timeless Tale

Tchaikovsky's masterful Sleeping Beauty stands to this day as a ballet masterpiece, inspiring the famed Disney movie and continually capturing the hearts of generations, well over 130 years since its debut. A cast of some of the world's greatest ballet performers bring this timeless ballet to life on stages across North America this year, including dancers from Italy, Ukraine, Ireland, Great Britain, Spain, Japan, Georgia, Brazil, Turkey, Moldova, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan!

Petipa and Tchaikovsky's ballet was based on Charles Perrault's adaptation of the ancient folk tale, published in 1697. The ballet beautifully captures the magical and romantic essence of the fairy tale, standing to this day as a cherished gem in the classical ballet repertoire and one best experienced in full and in person.
