Remember falling in love with ballet? Now you can share that magic with your grandkids in the most spectacular way imaginable.
Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty isn’t your typical ballet performance. Picture this: six incredibly talented local dancers telling the classic fairy tale, but their costumes literally glow and sparkle as they move. Every spin, every leap becomes this gorgeous light show that’ll have the little ones gasping in wonder – and honestly, you’ll probably be just as mesmerised.
Here’s why it’s perfect for a special outing:
Just the right length – At an hour, it’s long enough to feel like a real treat, but short enough that nobody gets restless
Pure eye candy – Those glowing costumes are absolutely magical. The kids will be enchanted, and you’ll appreciate the beautiful choreography even more
Easy venue – The Octagon Theatre at UWA is lovely, with great views from every seat and wheelchair access if needed
Something for everyone – It’s got all the classical ballet you love, but with this cool modern twist that makes it feel fresh and exciting
No rush – Doors open half an hour early, so you can get settled without any stress
This is perfect if you’ve been wanting to introduce your grandchildren (5 and up work great) to ballet, or if you’re a dance lover looking for something a bit different. It’s one of those rare shows that truly works for all ages.
Practical Details:
Affordable tickets – Prices range from $32- $74 across four different zones, and the good news is that every seat offers a great view of the performance.
Easy parking – There’s plenty of parking available on Hackett Drive right near the theatre, making it hassle-free.
Booking tips: The cheaper tickets tend to sell out quickly, so it’s worth booking early. Since seats are allocated first-come, first-served within each zone, arriving early will help you get better spots.
