Storytime Ballet: The Sleeping Beauty at the Dunstan Playhouse


  • Dunstan Playhouse (map)

Be enchanted by The Sleeping Beauty, an interactive Storytime Ballet experience for children aged three years and older.

Telling the story of a beautiful princess who must sleep for 100 years until woken by true love’s kiss, The Sleeping Beauty dazzles with glittering tutus and most-loved characters, set to Tchaikovsky’s hum-along score.

Running for under an hour, this narrated version of The Sleeping Beauty will have children dancing in their seats…and all the way home. Don’t forget to dress up in your favourite ballet-inspired outfit!

Please note that flashing wands and smoke/ haze will be used during this performance.

Storytime Ballet is interactive, with magic wands used throughout the performance. To enhance your experience, purchase a wand from the merchandise counter at the venue or bring one from home.
