Venture into a colorful world of magic and enchantment with the time honored tale of Beauty and the Beast. Set to a lyrical score by Tchaikovsky, this NBT Company Premiere is a visually spectacular production celebrating the transformative power of love. From the mysterious forest filled with leaping stags and lively nymphs, to the beastly, imposing castle and its cursed occupants, this ballet is a feast for the senses. First created for San Francisco Ballet by the legendary Lew Christensen, the performance proved so popular it was revived each year for a decade. A generation later, it remains one of the best loved stories of all time and a heartwarming fairy tale perfect for the entire family.
