Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Show

Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Show at Redford Theatre

A familiar fairytale takes on a different visual character when the dancers' costumes light up. Ballet of Lights: Sleeping Beauty in a Sparkling Show tells the princess's journey from enchanted sleep to awakening through ballet that glows in the dark. Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 4:00 PM, Detroit's Redford Theatre hosts a sixty-minute performance where movement and light combine to give a classic story fresh urgency.

Illuminated costumes make light part of the choreography's visual appeal. The princess's passage from enchanted sleep to awakening gives that design a story to serve, combining a recognizable fairytale with movement and color. A classical soundtrack accompanies the dancers, offering a musical route into the performance alongside the luminous costumes.

The approximately hour-long format offers a different introduction from a full-length traditional ballet. The experience is for ages five and older, with children under sixteen accompanied by an adult. Make it a family outing for someone curious about dance, or share it with a companion interested in seeing a fairytale through this visual approach.

At Redford Theatre on Sunday afternoon, Sleeping Beauty's spell gets a visual twist: the costumes themselves become part of the light show. That makes the sixty-minute performance a tempting first ballet for a curious young viewer, but there's plenty for adults who love imaginative stage design, too. Swap an ordinary Sunday for a glowing fairytale. Check seats for Ballet of Lights and see this version of the story in motion.
