Ballet of Lights in Stuttgart – The Programs:
Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Show
The roots of Sleeping Beauty date back to the Middle Ages and first appeared in a French romance by Charles Perrault. The well-known story of the enchanted princess and the fateful kiss has touched generations and now shines in a new light at Ballet of Lights: shimmering costumes, moments full of suspense and grace, accompanied by Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty. Music, dance, and light merge into a poetic experience—gentle, captivating, and timeless.
Ballet of Lights: Cinderella in a radiant show
Most people probably remember the famous fairy tale of Cinderella from their childhood. The story follows young Ella, who is treated terribly by her stepmother and her stepsisters and forced to do hard labor for them—until one day she attends a royal ball, where she wins the heart of a prince, who then tracks her down through her lost slipper and marries her. The roots of the original story have existed for many centuries, but rest assured: you’ve never experienced it quite like this before—not even at Ballet of Lights!
What is Ballet of Lights?
A traditional ballet full of magic—brought to life by sparkling costumes that intensify every movement, every emotion, and every twist of the story. Two world-famous tales— Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella —transform into spectacular moments on stage as four to six dancers embody their roles, blending classical ballet elements with modern technique.
The result is a vibrant interplay of imaginative storytelling and expressive artistry that captivates both connoisseurs and newcomers alike. Since Ballet of Lights is an abridged version of the original, you’ll experience the story here in just 60 minutes instead of the usual three-hour performance.
