CHICAGO, IL: Renowned Chicago Ballet Company Holds Auditions for Critically Acclaimed "Sleeping Beauty"
Company:
A&A Ballet
A&A BALLET, under the artistic direction of Anna Reznik and Alexei Kremnev, announces open auditions for roles in The Sleeping Beauty to be performed at Athenaeum Center at 2936 N. Southport Ave. on May 24, 2025.
Cursed by a wicked fairy, the newborn Princess Aurora is fated to die from a prick to her finger on her sixteenth birthday. A good fairy intervenes to alter the wicked fairy’s tragic spell: instead of dying, Princess Aurora, and her entire kingdom, will fall into a deep sleep. Only true love’s kiss will unleash the power to awaken her and the rest of her kingdom.
This pinnacle of classical dance is heralded as ballet’s most sumptuous and artistically exacting; A&A BALLET’S Sleeping Beauty has been called a masterpiece.
Both the regal visual splendor and Tchaikovsky’s monumental score will enchant the entire family.
A new spin on this timeless classic. Experience A&A BALLET's unique retelling of The Sleeping Beauty.
