Celebrate the thaw at Kennedy Center: The ABT's Sleeping Beauty

Opening tomorrow night at Kennedy Center, the American Ballet Theater is presenting Sleeping Beauty, a favorite fairy tale about a beautiful princess whose parents pissed off an evil fairy.

This familiar story is what every imaginative little girl dreams of, being awakened from a very sound sleep (100 years in this case) by a kiss from a handsome and very lovable prince, is being performed at Kennedy Center tomorrow at 7:00 and through the rest of the week, by the American Ballet Theater.

With Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky lush score and Alexei Ratmansky's new staging, this production is a perfect way to warm up after a daunting weekend of, well, Snow White!

For more information on tickets and performance schedules, go to The Kennedy Center web site.

Patricia,

We had the honor of being invited to a private performance by some of the ABT members at a home in Los Angeles, and it was a delight to see the artistry. I would definitely get tickets if we lived closer. A

Alexandra, the Kennedy Center is one of the city treasures, and I'm lucky enough to be dating one of the National Ballet and Opera Orchestra's musiciains, so I get to go often.

Love the American Ballet Theater and recently saw a production of Peter and the Wolf - during Thanksgiving-not the biggest fan of classical ballet but the ABT is extraordinary!

Yolanda, Houston has some pretty interesting stuff as far as museums go.

Paul, the music is just beautiful. Really lush, and the orchestra is really good.

Joanna, Peter and the Wolf was something that inspried me to play the flute - and piccolo! It's a wonderful introduction to the orchestra for young people.
