With artistic choreography, glowing costumes and a captivating light show, the result is a show that makes classical ballet shine in a completely new light.
What is Ballet of Lights?
A traditional ballet full of magic – revitalized by sparkling costumes that intensify every movement, every emotion and every turn of events. Three world-famous stories – Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan and Cinderella – are transformed into spectacular stage moments when five to six dancers embody their roles and fuse classical ballet elements with modern technique. The result is a lively interplay of imaginative storytelling and expressive art form that captivates connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
