Christopher Stowell after Marius Petipa
Awaken the Magic
On her sixteenth birthday, a cursed princess dances with her suitors—until the prick of a finger changes everything. A tale of magic, darkness, and a love worth waiting 100 years for.
Set to Tchaikovsky’s enchanting score, Christopher Stowell’s fairytale ballet marries tour-de-force dancing with sumptuous sets and costumes to create a story that will steal your heart.
“Hugely entertaining.” – The Oregonian
