Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Show

  • Dance
  • Entertainment

Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty reimagines the classic tale with glow-in-the-dark costumes and luminous staging that blend tradition with innovation.

Follow Aurora from a fateful curse to a joyous awakening, as dancers paint the stage with colour, silhouette and light. Each twirl and leap leaves shimmering trails, turning familiar scenes into an otherworldly vision. Precision footwork, elegant pas de deux and playful ensemble moments highlight the score and storytelling, while illuminated design adds a fresh, contemporary touch.

Ideal for families and ballet lovers, this production invites audiences to rediscover romance, wonder and grace in a new light.

Step into a world where dance and illumination meet, and experience Sleeping Beauty as a magical spectacle for all ages in Melbourne.
