Beauty of a ballet coming to Tameside

Press Release Date: 20 January 2012

Tameside Arts and Events team’s 2012 theatre programme begins with a chance to see Tchaikovsky’s magical ballet “The Sleeping Beauty”.

Ballet Theatre UK's  internationally acclaimed company of dancers will be staging this dazzling new ballet production at the George Lawton Hall, Mossley on Saturday, 31 March (7.30pm).

It features dramatic stage sets, elegant costumes and, of course, the memorable score wrapped around a classic fairy tale.

Wicked fairy Carabosse puts a curse on the beautiful Princess Aurora, to prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday. The Lilac Fairy counters by casting a spell that Aurora will not die but fall asleep. However, only the touch of true love’s kiss can awaken her.

To buy tickets (£16 and £12) call 0161 342 4144 or book online.

Tameside Council’s Assistant Executive Member for Music, Culture and Performing Arts, Cllr John Sullivan, said: “‘The Sleeping Beauty’ is an enchanting piece of ballet. I’m sure the people who go to see it will have a wonderful evening.”
