RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET: THE SLEEPING BEAUTY Comes to Van Wezel Image

The Sleeping Beauty, a crowning jewel of Marius Petipa's career, is often considered the finest achievement of the classical ballet. It is a grandiose and refined blending of the traditional mime, expressive pas d'action and spectacular divertissements in a lavish theatrical setting, set to Tchaikovsky's glorious score. Don't miss this special production by the Russian National Ballet, coming to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall stage on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.!

Founded in Moscow during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, the Russian National Ballet has been bringing timeless ballet classics to the stages of North America since 1999. In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first permanent artistic directorship of the company. Ms. Radchenko is the founder of the Russian National Ballet, focusing on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia, with a repertory of virtually all the great full works that continue to enlighten, inspire and entertain audience across the continent.
