We paid $170 dollars for our ticket. We were on 3rd row from the stage. Very amateur! Is this ballet from Russia? It does not seem. Movements were not together. This looked like end of the year presentation of some amateur schools. By the way, no orchestra! And theater is very small.
Wonderful performance and awesome talent. This cast is well worth seeing and an experience you will remember.
I loved the entire performance. My grand daughter also loved it. She was totally taken in by the performers.
This was my first ballet and I absolutely loved it! Definitely want to attend more.
Sleeping Beauty was a beautiful experience shared with my daughter and granddaughter. The costumes were amazing and the dancing incredible! Thank you for a wonderful memory!!
Ballet Idaho did a remarkable job with 'Sleeping Beauty'. The costumes and set were so elaborate and added another dimension to this timeless story. The dancers were excellent!! This ballet was delightful, I only wish we could see more of these fairy tale ballets.
This production exceeded my expectations! The sets were amazing, the dancers were exceptional. I really appreciated learning about the pantomime that would be included in the ballet. I was able to watch and catch the bits throughout the entire production.
Absolutely stunning! It was my first ballet and I fell in love! My only complaint was the music, I wish it could have been live. IT was played through speakers above the performance and the tapping of the dancers feet distracted me from the performance. But other than that, the dancers were graceful and danced beautifully. It was truly a magical experience
Costumes, Make up, sets, and of course the dancing was BEAUTIFUL!!
The dancing was beautiful and the choreography fit the music well.
I really enjoyed seeing Sleeping Beauty. The costumes and staging were beautiful. The dancing was great! All the dancers were so graceful. The only part that was hard was the final act which seemed to drag on- thru no fault of the ballet company. It appears the composer added all the extra stuff back in the 1700's and the ballet company was simply staying true to the original score.
This ballet was incredible!! Everything from the dancers to the outfits, to the props, to the set! Just amazing! Favorite moment had to be when Carrabosse put the curse on Aurora and the Lilac fairy had the curse reversed and changed. Just a spectacular visual/gestured moment. Also, the Bluebirds were amazing. The male bluebird was just phenomenal! I really loved Puss In Boots with the White Cat too. Added a nice comedic bit! The seats were spectacular. Just to the right of being center stage, but being so close is great. I loved being able to see the dancers expressions as opposed to being farther away or on the second level seating.
Sleeping Beauty was a great performance enhanced with talented dancers and amazing costumes. My only complaint was that it was too long. Most of the children were asleep after 2 hours at the Fri. night show. I felt it could have been over 1/2 hour before it was. 10:40 is too late to get out of a ballet.
Ballet Idaho's Sleeping Beauty was a masterpiece! The level of talent at Ballet Idaho is just phenomenal. This was a world-class production. Peter Anastos' outstanding choreography gave the dancers so many opportunities to display their amazing talents. From the youngest dancers through the seasoned pros, this ballet was outstanding. We look forward to next season's major productions of The Nutcracker and Peter Pan. Many thanks to all who made this possible.
The recent appearance of Ballet Theatre of Maryland performing The Sleeping Beauty at fhe Lyric Theater was truly exciting and delightful. The performance flowed exceptionally well with new choreography by Artistic Director Dianna Cuatto which eliminated dull walking around parts seen in past presentations of this ballet by other companies. However, Ms Cuatto retained beloved iconic dances such as the Rose Adaggio and the Lilac Fairy's solo so the ballet was a very effective combination of old and new. Contemporary ballet moves were used to distinguish Carabosse, the evil fairy, and her minions. The costumes were fabulous with sparkling tutus befitting the fairies which were named after precious jewels. The use of a scrim was quite effective in creating the illusion of a castle overgrown with thorns and vines.
I got tickets for my daughter(who dances in a local high school magnet dance program) and wife. 5th row off the stage. They came out after a 3 1/2 hours ballet and the first words out of their mouth were..."What a waste of money!" Beside the manors of people sitting around them, they said one lady climbed over the seats like she was at Camden Yards or Ravens Stadium, to move to another row, they both said the dancing was horrible, except for one of the male dancers. They also said the acting was brutal to watch and at time even "laughable". Based on the way they spoke about it, I wish i could get my money back. I will not be buying any more tickets to ballets that are done by the Maryland Ballet Company.
The Maryland Professional Ballet is truly wonderful!
The Ballet The Sleeping Beauty was so Beautiful, it made for a very enjoyable evening. My Sister and I had a wonderful evening. I would see this Ballet again and again. The Principle Dancers were amazing!!! I Love the BalletTheatre of Maryland!!!
Every bit of the performance was outstanding. I would recommend if you like to see all the footwork , my granddaughter is a ballerina, sit further.back. We had excellent seats to see all of the drama very well, but couldn't see the foot positioning. Still no matter it was beautiful and well done.
