The Stuttgart Ballet: The Sleeping Beauty
17 October @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm AEDT

Performing in Australia for the first time in decades, Germany’s premier ballet company, The Stuttgart Ballet, brings Marcia Haydée’s The Sleeping Beauty exclusively to Melbourne, by special invitation from The Australian Ballet.
Proving that dreams do come true, guest company The Stuttgart Ballet bring The Sleeping Beauty to Melbourne.
At the Regent Theatre, audiences will experience Marcia Haydee’s unique version of The Sleeping Beauty — both breathtakingly beautiful and darkly dramatic. The classic story unfolds in a grand battle between the pure Lilac Fairy and the wicked Carabosse, brought to life with Jürgen Rose’s intricate designs and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score.
