| The renowned St. Petersburg State Ice Ballet return to present the all time classic SLEEPING BEAUTY at Badminton Theater. The beloved music of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky blended with the beauty of classical ballet and the elegant technique of ice skating has dazzled audiences of all ages around the world.
After the sold out performances of Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet and Nutcracker delivered in Athens in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008 the world famous ice ballet company with one hundred classical ballet dancers and ice skating champions returns to enchant us once again with its pure beauty, charm, innocence and magic…
“This ice dance version of Sleeping Beauty seems more accessible than classical ballet, perhaps because it is a simpler and direct approach to storytelling.”
The Globe and Mail
“This Sleeping Beauty replicates the 1890 ballet production with everyone on ice skates, able to pirouette or jete as they would in ballet shoes. Wearing theatrical costumes that weigh them down considerably more than a skimpy figure skater’s outfit, they rarely have a spill.”
