Ballet of Lights: bringing Peter Pan to Adelaide
Straight from Neverland comes this magical dance show that puts a shining upgrade on traditional ballet. ‘Ballet of Lights’ is an abridged version of the original two hour production of Peter Pan but still features all the charm and enchantment of the original tale. Over the course of 60 minutes, luminous pirouettes, pliés and more ballet moves leave a trail of light on stage as the dancers interpret the likes of Wendy, Tinkerbell and Captain Hook.
Peter Pan told through light, music, and dance
For centuries, ballet has been a prestigious medium for storytelling. Traditionally, ballet shows were usually reserved for the upper classes who’d travel from far and wide to catch performances of works by esteemed composers like Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. But now thanks to productions like ‘Ballet of Lights’ in Adelaide, ballet is more accessible than ever. Modern technology adds a contemporary edge to the show, and props including a treasure chest and books completely elevate the storytelling.
This season, head second to the right and go straight on till morning before you reach ‘Ballet of Lights.’ Set to works like “Hungarian Dance No. 5” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, the show fuses classical music with stunning choereo and fibre-optic lights to transport audiences straight to the magical world of Neverland.
