Event Details

Sleeping Beauty will be presented by Central Illinois Ballet at ICC Performing Arts Center (located at 1 College Drive in East Peoria) on Friday at 7 pm plus Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm.  Set to Tchaikovsky’s score, the full-length production weaves an unforgettable tale of love, destiny, and the triumph of good over evil.   Tickets range from $30 - $40 for adults and $20 and $30 for students aged 12 & under and senior citizens aged 65 and over and are available by calling 309-713-1985 or visiting www.ciballet.com
At the heart of the story is Princess Aurora, blessed by good fairies at her christening, but cursed by the wicked fairy Carabosse to prick her finger on her sixteenth birthday and fall into a deep, enchanted sleep. As the spell unfolds, time stands still, and an entire kingdom slumbers for a hundred years. Only the courage and love of a noble prince can awaken Aurora and restore harmony to the realm. With lavish costumes, grand sets, and virtuosic choreography that showcases the beauty and precision of classical ballet, Sleeping Beauty is a dazzling spectacle for audiences of all ages. From the elegant Rose Adagio to the enchanting vision scene and the joyous wedding celebration, every moment is filled with wonder and artistry.
