Price: $22 & $15
The quintessential classical ballet, Sleeping Beauty is performed by nearly every major ballet company in the world. The tale of a Princess in distress and a gallant Prince who rescues her and wins her heart, Sleeping Beauty is packed with high drama, tender romance, and some of Tchaikovsky’s finest music, all of which have made it an enduring favorite for over a hundred years. The ballet is filled with familiar characters such as Princess Aurora, the Handsome Prince, the King and Queen and their splendid Royal Court, as well as characters from the fairy realm including the Lilac Fairy, the wicked Carabosse, Puss in Boots, Red Riding Hood, the Blue Bird and the Enchanted Princess. This 90 minute production for Young Families is accompanied by New Jersey Ballet’s original “storyteller” narration so even the littlest theater-goers can keep up with the story.
