Classic ballet on display in Boca Raton

Seventy years before its Disneyfication, “The Sleeping Beauty” was adapted as a ballet composed by Peter Tchaikovsky in 1889, and is the second of his three ballets (the other two are “The Nutcracker” and “Swan Lake”). Boca Ballet Theatre dusts off this tale of Princess Aurora and her Prince Désiré with great panache and expert staging by the company’s co-artistic director, Dan Guin. Enjoy the show!

“The Sleeping Beauty”: 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $45 each for the general public, $35 for seniors and children, and $25 for virtual livestream access. Countess de Hoernle Theatre at Spanish River High School, 5100 Jog Road, Boca Raton. Info: 561-995-0709 or www.bocaballet.org.
