Published 1:30 am Thursday, May 4, 2023
A ballet production that the pandemic put to sleep three years ago has reawakened in Edmonds.
The Olympic Ballet Theatre will present “The Sleeping Beauty” May 13-14 at the Edmonds Center for the Arts. The production was originally scheduled for spring 2020 but was canceled in the middle of rehearsals because of the COVID-19 shutdown.
“We are thrilled to bring this production back after the pandemic interruption,” OBT artistic directors Mara Vinson and Oleg Gorboulev said in a news release. “This iconic ballet has everything that makes classical story ballets so appealing to patrons of all ages – with technically challenging choreography, beautiful staging and music, and many exciting scenes and characters. Coinciding with Mother’s Day weekend, this ballet can be a wonderful gift and an excellent opportunity for families to spend time immersed in the world of the performing arts.”
Three performances are scheduled: 2 and 7 p.m. May 13 and 5 p.m. May 14 at the arts center, 410 4th Ave N., Edmonds. Tickets range from $27 to $48 and can be purchased at www.olympicballet.org/tickets or at the box office, 425-774-7570.
