The show was absolutely amazing in every way - from the dancers and costumes to the music and sets. My 5 children (from ages 4 to 14) were mezmerized even though it ran way past several of their bedtimes. This show is a must see for adults and children alike. Congratulations on another fabulous show from Birmingham Ballet!
This was my first non-Nutcracker ballet. The set was really beautiful but I found the story slow and confusing. We were disappointed that their wasn't live music. I would recommend becoming familiar with the ballet before you go.
There is not often a chance to see an international acclaimed ballet company in the Des Moines Area. The Moscow Ballet Company did not disappoint. We look forward to the next opportunity.
Excellent performance with some small technical issues during the show, but the overall of the event was great!.
Pros- Dancers performed beautifully and the costumes and backdrops were eyecatching. Cons - set decorations were minimal and the story line was uneventful.
When I bought tickets to the ballet, I thought it was going to be an actual ballet with an orchestra and everything. I get to the event and find out it would of been cheaper to just buy tickets at the door and then there is no orchestra, just a stereo playing music and it was more like a school production ballet.
Great performance. I loved the scenaries and the costumes. The artists gave their all. The yungest performers were adorable.
The play was so amazing. Every ballerina was a great dancer. I loved the costumes they were so gorgeous!! I liked this version of Sleeping Beauty because its very different from what most people know!! My eyes were glued onto the ballerinas the whole time, I didn't get bored at all. I will recommend this play to my friends.
The story line could have been anything. Did not need to mirror a Disney production but there were enough unusual interpretations to a classic so that younger children at intermission could be heard asking parents when the sleeping Beauty story would start. Two unusually tall dancers were cast for major parts and that was a distraction and a disappointment as they do not have the range of motion needed for ballet. Some freakish reliance on hand movements throughout was hard to take. Some of the dancers actually look at their hands to see if they were doing what I’m sure was requested of them.
My parents took my 7 year old daughter and they all had a wonderful time. The performance, the set, the venue, they loved it all.
I went into this ballet with a closed mind and was expecting to be bored to death. 2 hours of a play with no words? What could be worse? But it instantly captured my attention from the very start and held it to the very end. And the 2 hours flew by. The dancers were unbelievable. I'm definitely going to be going to more ballets in the future :) also, this theater is amazing. The seats are very comfortable and there isn't a bad seat in the whole place.
The ballet was great as well as the music that accompanied it. I have watched this ballet at another venue, but I feel that this ballet was done much better. You can tell that the cast was enjoying themselves, a different vibe than the ballet I had watched before.
The cast was fantastic! Even for someone that doesn't know about ballet, it was self explanatory. We would recommend for anyone and any age to see this amazing Ballet. We truly enjoyed the entire production. The dancers were beautiful!!
Sleeping Beauty was AWESOME!. This was my daughter's first ballet. She absoutley LOVED it!!! It was very well done and the costumes were amazing!
A beautiful production of Sleeping Beauty. Princess Aurora did an amazing job.
I brought 4 children under the age of 7 and all really loved the production also loved the back stage tour. The dancers were very talented and such dedication. i have gotten tickets for 4 other ballets and 2 plays but never in this section I would not purchase from this section again.
It was great and my 4 year old loved it. Great first ballet experience.
Truly a special event to watch. The performance was fantastic. Lighting, music, effects, and overall show was first class. All of the dancers performed exceptionally well and all local talent.......a must see for all ages to enjoy and experience.
A wonderful performance! I took my 5 and 3.5 year old daughters and my 5 year old was able to track with the story line because the performers did a fantastic job conveying with their motions and emotions. We look forward to every Ballet Etudes! Thank you!
It was a good show. Costuming and sets were excellent. I have seen this dancing group several times and this was not their best performance. That being said, the male guest dancers from Arizona Ballet were outsanding.
