Ballet of Lights Perth

Glowing Costumes, Illuminated Dancers & Classic Fairytales Transformed

Ballet of Lights transforms classic fairytales into dazzling spectacles where dancers perform in illuminated costumes—twirling, leaping, and gliding across darkened stages in shimmering light that makes every movement breathtakingly visual. This isn't just ballet with pretty lighting; it's ballet reimagined where the costumes glow, colours shift, and the visual impact rivals the dancing itself.

Two productions alternate throughout the season:

Sleeping Beauty A dreamlike retelling where ballet meets brilliance—dancers move through the familiar story in glowing costumes that create living artwork on stage. Watch the curse unfold, the kingdom sleep, and true love triumph, all while shimmering light transforms every scene into fairytale magic. It's Sleeping Beauty as you know it, but brought to life in a way that makes kids (and adults) unable to look away.

Cinderella The beloved fairytale reimagined through illuminated costumes and bold choreography—from the hilarious antics of evil stepsisters to the opulence of the Royal Ball to the heartwarming romance between Prince and Cinderella. Each magical moment breathes through dance, colour, and glowing light that makes glass slippers and pumpkin carriages feel genuinely enchanted.

Both productions combine classical ballet storytelling with modern visual spectacle that keeps younger audiences engaged while dance enthusiasts appreciate the technical skill. The illuminated costumes create visual interest even for kids who might zone out during traditional ballet—there's always something glowing, shifting, or dazzling to watch.

Perfect for families wanting ballet experience that captivates kids who might find traditional productions too slow. The glowing costumes and visual spectacle keep young eyes engaged while the classical stories remain familiar and comforting. Good introduction to ballet for kids who love visual arts, magic, or fairytales. The alternating productions mean you can see both if you become fans. Works for ages roughly 4+ who can sit through a performance—the visual interest helps attention spans.
