The Ballet School presents: Sleeping Beauty
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. Due to popular demand, you can now enjoy the performance as a recording on Stage24.
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.
