    Sleeping Beauty - Alberta Ballet was incredible

    by GrandmaCarol on 2018-11-08Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    My granddaughter was an Alberta Ballet Edmonton student who participated in the Garland Dancers performance. me, my daughter and granddaughter have season tickets for sat.nite ballets (except when shes' in it). therefore I bought tickets for her mom and I for Fri. nite and Sun. matinee as well. I saw the complete ballet 3 times. It was so beautiful and absolutely fascinating! The classical ballet dancers' routines as well as the added new choreography routines were amazing. Incredible talent, The costumes were the most beautiful I've seen yet.

    The Sleeping Beauty - Didn't Disappoint

    by LR1963 on 2018-11-05Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    Alberta Ballet's "The Sleeping Beauty" was wonderful. The sets were beautiful, the costumes sublime, and the dancers, though not always tecnically perfect, put in a good performance. We came out of there with smiles on our faces.

    Sleeping Beauty

    by Allegra45 on 2018-11-05Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Edmonton

    The ballet was too long and deviated from the story so at times it was challenging to follow. I think the third act could have completely been omitted.

    Sleeping Beauty Ballet was Wonderful!

    by Dorota908 on 2018-10-30Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - Calgary

    I bought the tickets not sure what to expect from the show, But I was amazed at the production. Even from the back of first balcony you can see the detail they put into the stage sets and even most of the costumes. Everything looked beautiful and I loved the added visual effects they used throughout. And the dancing itself was amazing. I loved the story they told and the music was beautiful. I hope they bring back this ballet again in the future because I would love to see it again.

    The ballet was wonderful! My first time for a ballet so I quite enjoyed it! The only other feedback is I thought the second half was maybe a bit dragged out.
