Dear Mobile Ballet Supporters and Patrons,

You have likely heard the news about the City’s plans to demolish the Civic Center complex including the Theater in a few months to begin construction on a new state of the art venue. Though we will be in a different performance venue for a while during the redevelopment, we assure you that we will continue to perform an outstanding repertoire at the same level of excellence for which Mobile Ballet is known, continuing our mission of bringing the highest caliber ballet productions to our community. 

In the meantime, this news means that The Sleeping Beauty on March 23-24, 2024, will be our last production to be held at the existing Civic Center Theater. Be sure to get your tickets if you haven’t already, and encourage your family and friends to do the same! 

Come be a part of our final performances at the Civic Center Theater and join us in celebrating the rich legacy of artistry that has taken place on this stage over Mobile Ballet’s 37-year history. 

We look forward to seeing you at the Theater for The Sleeping Beauty, and continuing to share this beautiful art form with the community for many decades to come. 

Stay tuned for an announcement of our 2024-2025 Season coming soon! 

Thank you for your support,

Katia Garza

Mobile Ballet Artistic Director

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

Saturday, March 23, 7:00 pm
Sunday, March 24, 2:00 pm
at Mobile Civic Center Theater

Please note performance start times at the top of the hour this season!

The Saturday 7pm performance will feature the Mobile Ballet Orchestra LIVE, led by conductor David Ott!

Mobile Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty will transport you on a mystical journey in the timeless fairytale where good versus evil and the power of love overcomes all obstacles. This iconic ballet is a masterclass in the classical style, ideal for lifelong ballet lovers as well as newcomers.

Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and a cast of fantastical characters will captivate audiences, in this new adaptation by Katia Garza after the original by Marius Petipa. The malevolent fairy Carabosse curses Princess Aurora to 100 years of slumber by a single prick of her finger on her 16th birthday. Doomed by fate, only a prince’s loving kiss can break the evil spell and awaken the sleeping beauty.

Outstanding guest artists will join the Mobile Ballet Company onstage, including principal dancer Nayara Lopes of Philadelphia Ballet as Princess Aurora, Daniel Benavides as Carabosse, and more!

Audiences of all ages will be swept away by this elegant production with Tchaikovsky’s ravishing score, in a new adaptation by Katia Garza after the original version by Marius Petipa.

Classical ballet at its finest!
