The hard work of the autumn season at the Ballet School of the Finnish National Ballet will culminate in a spectacular finale in December with the school’s own interpretation of Sleeping Beauty.
Tchaikovsky’s marvellous music and the universally loved story have made Sleeping Beauty one of the world’s most popular ballets. The Ballet School’s Jani Talo and Ophélie Rodighiero have collaborated with the teachers to condense the ballet into two acts.
Every student of the Ballet School from young beginners to vocational students will be seen onstage.

The Almi Hall stage is the smaller stage of the Opera House. Entrance to Almi Hall is located on the Töölönlahti bay side.
The seating in Almi Hall has a slight incline in rows 1–7, with a steeper incline starting from row 8. Additional rows A–E are on a flat floor but are not used for all performances.
