About The Performance

Fall in love with Colorado Ballet’s premiere of Beauty and the Beast, opening Feb. 19 and running through Feb. 28. Based on the enchanting fairy tale by Charles Perrault, Beauty and the Beast recounts the tale of selflessness, compassion and unconditional love. Commissioned by the Hong Kong Ballet, choreographer Domy Reiter-Soffer’s moving ballet of love and ultimate redemption, offers a modern take on this classic story. With expressive choreography, fantastic costumes, imaginative scenery designed by Reiter-Soffer and a commissioned score by Chinese composer Seen-yee Lam, Beauty and the Beast has all the elements of the traditional fairy tale. Complete with a scheming witch, an innocent girl and a handsome prince, this ballet chronicles a journey filled with things that aren’t quite what they appear. However, in the end unconditional love leads to happiness and redemption.
