SIERRA NEVADA BALLET PRESENTS SLEEPING BEAUTY-A FAIRY’S TALE

July 29 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

SIERRA NEVADA BALLET PRESENTS SLEEPING BEAUTY-A FAIRYS TALE

Sierra Nevada Ballet shall present a new version of ballet’s famous full-length romantic story in dance, Sleeping Beauty (A Fairys Tale), at the Sand Harbor venue on Lake Tahoe on July 29, and at the Carson City Community Center on Aug. 3.

Choreographer/directors, Rosine Bena and Ananda Bena-Weber, have reimagined this traditional symbolic tale The Sleeping Beauty (La Belle Au Bois Dormant ) for a contemporary audience. Bena and Bena-Weber developed the story through the character of Malefique (the evil fairy). Drawing inspiration from the many versions of this tale, this new interpretation of the story carries a universal message that defies the passage of time.

This wonderful love story in dance with the beautiful music of Tchaikovsky filled with hilarious comedy, exciting drama, and touching romance is considered to be one of the “favorite” ballets of all time.

SNB’s new version of Sleeping Beauty (A Fairy’s Tale) will be performed as a Prologue and two act ballet and features Hikari Jaconson (Oakland Ballet, Atlantic City Ballet); Juan Magacho (Theatro Municipal de Rio de Janeiro/San Jose Dance Theatre); Domingo Rubio (Joffrey Ballet/Ballet Hispanico); Ananda Bena-Weber (SNB Associate Artistic Director/Reno Ballet/United Solo Award Winner/Jazz Tap Ensemble); David Naquin (Oklahoma City Ballet, Los Angeles Ballet, Eugene Ballet); Sara Weir (Sacramento Ballet/SNB Principal) and Anthony McMenamy (SNB Soloist) in featured roles and the SNB full company of professional dancers augmented by students from the SNB Academy and dance schools in the community.
