Cape Town City Ballet to Host Annual FAIRY PARADE, 12/24

After experiencing the magic and fun of the ballet performance, children in the audience will be invited to join the stars of the ballet company on stage to meet the dancers up-close in their costumes and make-up. Father Christmas will also be there with little surprises for the young ones, while a professional photographer will capture the special moments on camera.

The Tin Soldier, a brand new ballet which opened on 11 December, offers a perfect family outing and will charm young and old with the touching story of a tin soldier who falls in love with a paper ballerina. The ballet takes the audience on a journey of fantasy, magic and laughter, following the adventures of the brave Tin Soldier as he endeavours to win the heart of his pretty ballerina.
