5:15 PM - 9:30 PM
Danced to the greatest of Tchaikovsky’s three masterful scores for ballet, the full-length Sleeping Beauty opens the season auspiciously, joining the composer’s Swan Lake and The Nutcracker in OBT’s repertoire. First choreographed in 1890 by the illustrious Marius Petipa, this enchanting tale of a wicked fairy’s curse, a century’s sleep and a revitalizing kiss is famous the world over as a stirring homage to pure love triumphant and true.
Artistic Director Christopher Stowell’s new The Sleeping Beauty retains the most famous passages of Petipa’s original version, while adding scintillating choreography and sparkling roles for the entire company.
This Behind-the-Scenes with Oregon Ballet Theatre will offer a reception across the street at the Regence Black Box, prior to a free dress rehearsal performance at the Keller Auditorium. The reception will include wine, hors d’oeuvres and a brief talk-back with OBT Historian, Linda Besant. Not suitable for children under the age of 4 (performance length is nearly 3 hours). RSVP is required, admission is free. Limit to first 100 registrations. The reception begins at 5:15pm; seating at the Keller will take place at 6:45-7:15pm. Rehearsal begins at 7:30pm.
