Sleeping Beauty at Venables Theatre

Description

Sleeping Beauty is one of the world‘s most famous classical ballets and holds a place in the repertoire of virtually every major company.
After more than 25 successful years, Ballet Jörgen has created its own unique classical ballet rendition.
This major ballet tells the enchanting story of Aurora and her prince complete with its inherently magical qualities and dazzling choreography.

The fairy tale about a young woman placed under a spell to sleep for a hundred years only to be awakened by a kiss is an easily accessible story. It appeals to a child’s imagination and holds a special place in the hearts of adults.
The underlying theme is the tug between the forces of good (the Lilac Fairy) and evil (Carabosse), serving as an important thread to the plot.
Told in three acts, the ballet benefits from the character development and technical expertise for which Canada’s Ballet Jörgen is known.
