Edmonds, WA – Olympic Ballet Theatre (OBT) returns to the Edmonds Center of the Arts with its beloved production of The Sleeping Beauty.
The show, originally scheduled for the spring of 2020, was canceled in the middle of rehearsals due to the pandemic. Now featuring a new cast of company dancers, this classical production will delight the audiences with gorgeous costumes, stunning sets by Jeanne Franz, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's magnificent score.
The story of The Sleeping Beauty is a familiar fairytale, showcasing the timeless conflict between the forces of good and evil and the enduring power of love.
“We are thrilled to bring this production back after the pandemic interruption,” said artistic directors Mara Vinson and Oleg Gorboulev.
“This iconic ballet has everything that makes classical story ballets so appealing to patrons of all ages – with technically challenging choreography, beautiful staging and music, and many exciting scenes and characters.
"Coinciding with Mother’s Day weekend, this ballet can be a wonderful gift and an excellent opportunity for families to spend time immersed in the world of the performing arts.”

Taking audiences into a magical land, OBT’s production introduces the lovely Princess Aurora, the wicked fairy who cursed her, the kind fairy who protected her, and the brave prince who set her free of the spell. True to the original roots of this classical ballet, The Sleeping Beauty features choreography by Mara Vinson and Oleg Gorboulev after Marius Petipa.
