The Timeless Tale

Tchaikovsky's masterful Sleeping Beauty stands to this day as a ballet masterpiece, inspiring the famed Disney movie and continually capturing the hearts of generations, well over 130 years since its debut. Nashville Ballet brings Paul Vasterling's majestic interpretation of Marius Petipa's choreography to the stage, joined by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's charming score!

Petipa and Tchaikovsky's ballet was based on Charles Perrault's adaptation of the ancient folk tale, published in 1697. The ballet beautifully captures the magical and romantic essence of the fairy tale, standing to this day as a cherished gem in the classical ballet repertoire and one best experienced in full and in person.
