Sleeping Beauty

The Brisbane City Youth Ballet presents a mesmerizing new retelling of Sleeping Beauty—a story of magic, destiny, and the power of love.

Before the famous spinning wheel and the century-long slumber, Princess Aurora’s fate was shaped in a realm far beyond the mortal world. In this enchanting production, audiences follow a curious, young Princess Aurora as she journeys into the secret Fairy Realm—a hidden sanctuary where her magical protectors reside.

Guided by the luminous Lilac Fairy, young Aurora meets the guardians who bestow upon her the virtues of grace, joy, temperance, and wisdom. 

Each fairy displays their distinct magic through breathtaking variations, binding their protection to the young princess. But when the dark fairy Carabosse casts her sinister curse, it is this very bond—forged in the heart of the Fairy Realm—that ensures light will ultimately conquer darkness.

Brought to life by Queensland’s most talented young dancers, BCYB’s Sleeping Beauty blends classical grandeur with a captivating fresh narrative. Experience the wonder as Aurora discovers her destiny in a world where magic is real and love transcends time.
