In 1889, it was a kiss of true love that woke Aurora from her eternal slumber. And now, after Charles Perrault wrote this unforgettable tale, “Ballet of Lights” Madrid allows us to live this magical story between pirouettes, arabesques … and light, lots of light. Professional dancers bring us closer to this classical dance born in the Renaissance wearing phosphorescent classical tutus, making each step of Tchaikovsky’s work a sparkle in itself.
The Círculo de Bellas Artes is the chosen stage to (re)experience Sleeping Beauty in a completely unique way, on selected dates. Seating is limited, so if you too want to enjoy this unique evening of ballet, be sure to get your ticket before they run out.
What is “Ballet of Lights”?
It is an experience that combines a dance show and a light show to pay homage to classical ballet. And while it is true that its music and choreography have come a long way since the 15th century, ballet remains an art form that has never ceased to shine… Even less so in “Ballet of Lights”. Just imagine countless lights elevating the original choreography, set design and music to the next level. All to the strains of Tchaikovsky’s sprawling work, adapted to last the entire 60 minutes of this magical show.
The ballet, its narrative and the spectacle.
The colors and patterns of the lights adapt during the story, enveloping you in the different scenes and emotions of one of the jewels of traditional ballet: Sleeping Beauty.
Composed by Tchaikovsky and premiered in 1890, the famous story of Aurora and her prince comes alive through dance thanks to this unrepeatable experience, which will not only feature some of the unmistakable melodies of the Russian master, but also the talent of six professional dancers.
