A New Adventure
Open your eyes to a new beauty in this gothic fairy tale with a modern twist.
“This Sleeping Beauty looks set for a lengthy reign.” -- The New York Times
Matthew Bourne returns to the Ahmanson, reimagining Sleeping Beauty as a gothic romance complete with fairies and vampires, enchanting and arresting scenery and costumes: all in a fully immersive surround sound experience.
He set the ballet world on fire and reinvigorated dance theatre with daring new spins on Nutcracker! and Swan Lake. Now, the two-time Tony Award® and five-time Olivier Award winning choreographer sets his sights on the third and final Tchaikovsky masterwork.
“An eye-popping achievement, magically animated.” -- The Guardian
Bourne knows how to engage and enthrall an audience, making ardent new fans of his unique stories in dance. There won't be any sleeping during this Beauty. Only rapturous applause.
