The Tulsa Ballet Will Perform THE SLEEPING BEAUTY in February
Performances will run from Feb. 12 through Feb. 15, 2026.
The Tulsa Ballet will present a world-premiere staging of The Sleeping Beauty at Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Performances will run from Feb. 12 through Feb. 15, 2026.
The new production, choreographed by Artistic Director Marcello Angelini after the classic original by Marius Petipa, brings fresh scenery, new costumes by designer Emma Kingsbury and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, delivering a re-imagined fairy tale of Princess Aurora, the wicked fairy Carabosse and true love’s kiss that awakens hope.
Sleeping Beauty reimagines the classic fairy tale with a fresh and innovative twist, combining classical ballet with breathtaking choreography by Marcello Angelini after Marius Petipa, and a beautiful score performed by the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra. The production brings to life the enchanting story of Princess Aurora, the evil fairy Carabosse, and true love's kiss, offering a captivating and inspiring experience for audiences of all ages.
The run begins with a special Preview Night on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 7:00 p.m., providing an opportunity to witness the ballet as the company performs final dress rehearsal — including a behind-the-scenes look at the production and a pre-show discussion; preview-night tickets are discounted starting at $25. Evening performances continue Friday, Feb. 13 and Saturday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on Sunday, Feb. 15 at 2:30 p.m.
With its blend of classical tradition and contemporary vision, The Sleeping Beauty promises to be one of the marquee ballet events in Tulsa’s 2026 cultural season.
