Butler Ballet presents Sleeping Beauty

The most magical of all the fairy tale ballets! A beautiful princess, an evil fairy, a curse that dooms everyone to sleep for a hundred years, and a magical kiss—what more can you ask for? The Bluebird, Puss-in-Boots, the White Cat, Red Riding Hood, the Wolf, and vibrant and colorful fairies are among the many guests invited to Aurora’s extravagant wedding that concludes this family favorite. Tchaikovsky’s very first ballet score—full of soaring melodies and sparkling variations—is performed live by the Butler Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Richard Auldon Clark. Indulge yourself in the fantasy of dreams that come true.

Did you know that dancers in Butler Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty often go through a pair of pointe shoes in less than 2-4 weeks? Averaging around $120 a pair, this can create a serious financial burden for dancers and their families. Help support the dancers of Butler Ballet with a gift to the Pointe Shoe Fund today.

Come early for pre-show entertainment downstairs in The Krannert Room featuring live music and a cash bar!

The Krannert Room opens when lobby doors open.
