“The Sleeping Beauty” ballet is a timeless story of good versus evil. It is a ballet in a prologue and three acts, first performed in 1890. YDCT uses the original music score by Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky with choreography by the Artistic team of Sue Kirkland, Christopher Montague and Tanja Graafland, in the timeless classical style of Marius Petipa.

Performing with the company in the role of Carabosse, the wicked Fairy, is none other than the incomparable Nigel Hannah. Mr Hannah brings a wealth of experience and complexity to the interpretation of this role.
We are also thrilled to announce that Principal Dancer Revil Yon from Joburg ballet will be performing the role of Prince Florimund.

Former student, now artist with Joburg Ballet, Savannah Jacobson will be performing the role of Princess Aurora. The production runs from the 22-23rd of November. Only 3 performances so make sure you get your tickets before they are sold out!
