Special Guest: Sir Jon Trimmer
Reviewed in the Nelson Mail as "a prestigious annual arts event" Louise Hawke presents her Christmas 2015 production of Aurora's Wedding. Tchaikovsky's ballet The Sleeping Beauty is the ultimate fairytale ballet. Guest stars will appear from the Royal NZ Ballet, Jacob Chown & Leonora Voigtlander and Tynan J Wood with Katie Hurst-Saxton from the Victoria State Ballet, formerly of the Royal NZ Ballet.
Favorite childhood fairytale characters all dance at this fairy wedding party. Fairies bless the bride, Little Red Ridinghood meets her Wolf, Pussycats preen and purr. The Princess Florine is entranced by her Bluebird in their popular pas de deux, and, of course, the newly-kissed Princess Aurora weds her dreamy Prince Desire in one of the most romantic grands pas de deux of all. In our production we promise a glimpse of honeymoon passion! And…does the Princess prefer her dream to reality?
Performances in 2014 sold to capacity, one extra matinee is on sale this year. Book now! The Up-Close & Classical Company & the Academy of Ballet Arts.
