I took my daughter and granddaughter with me and we all enjoyed this ballet very much. The performances were very good and the costumes and sets were very good as well. We will definitely look forward to seeing this again in the future.
Most of the people there had a personal reason to be there. It was okay, but not memorable. We left at Intermission.
In over 50 years of attending dance and ballet performances, this was without a doubt the worst performance we have ever seen. The four principal artists were fair to good, the company was a disaster. At times they seemed to be bumping into each other. One male "dancer" or performer seemed lost and clueless as to what to do in the last scenes. To add insult to the audience, the chandeliers were crooked. The scene in which the female campany danced in white costumes, I suppose they were nightgowns, was the most awkward dance scene in what was an extremely poor performance. We will never attend the Corpus Christi ballet again.
Excellent performance, but thought I was at a practice session since the orchestra was not there.
This was overall a decent ballet and the music was beautiful. The corps de ballet could have been a bit more together. The Principal Dancers were average. Very god company if you are new to the arts but someone who has seen ballet before and is familiar with it, this company will leave wanting a little bit more.
Took my 10 yr old daughther and her 2 friends. They had such a wonderful time. The costumes and stage were beautiful.
Don't recall cowboy hats in sleeping beauty.......or little red riding hood....bluebird and his wife. I was looking forward to the jump in the last scene...what happen...weak ending.
I took my daughters to the Sunday performance of Sleeping Beauty. The Ballet was beautiful! We sat in the dress circle boxes--we kind of spread out--such a wonderful performance! Thanks to the Ferguson Center for bringing in this troupe. My daughters--6 and 7--plus my wonderful "bonus" daughter, who is 27---had a great time. Such fun to dress up and go to the Ballet....
The costumes were just beautiful! loved it all! It was a great way to spend the afternoon-beautiful dancing and music!
The performance was nice - the costumes were beautiful. I only wish there was more focus surrounding the scene when the sleeping beauty was kissed - that's such an important scene and I felt like it didn't get the right amount of emotion/attention. I wish that scene got more attention and then I would be ok reducing the amount of other time devoted to the red hood and the wolf, etc.
I got seats, as a surprise, for my girlfriend, second row, just right of center. AMAZING SEATS for the price. The Ballet was impressive and amazing. The Ferguson Center was a perfect venue. My girlfriend was so excited that she was almost in tears, the whole time. Definately a must see!!!! The Russian National Ballet was flawless and magical. I would go back and see them perform any time they are in town.
The Russian National Ballet did a wonderful job with Sleeping Beauty. I was lucky enough to snag front row seats, so I could literally see the sweat on their faces and the tension in their muscles as they danced, and it was quite an impressive performance. Sitting that close, I also was witness to a few minor flaws... but I suppose that's the give and take of sitting in the front! I will say, a couple of the dancers were not always in character when they were onstage. Probably something I would not have noticed sitting further back, but still, it was mildly distracting. Overall, it was very well done, the dancing was beautiful, and I would certainly recommend it to a friend.
The ballet was beautiful, but was a little slow and long for my six year old children. Unless a child has a high interest in ballet, I would recommend waiting until they are older to attend a full length ballet.
The ballet Sleeping Beauty was excellent! The costuming was beautiful. The colors and richness of each were exceptional. The stage arrangement was very pretty and created a feeling of enchantment. The dancing was especially beautiful and the choreography was amazing. From the first act to the last act the dancing was wonderful. The evil fairy’s portrayal of a wicked being was very good and very believable. My granddaughters were on the edge of their seats during most of the performance. My husband said he thought the dancers were the best he had ever seen, and I have to agree. The performance was excellent and provided a delightful afternoon of entertainment. Thank you for providing an everlasting memory.
