In a realm where wonder takes the stage, hand‑carved marionettes—garbed in costumes as radiant as moonlight and starlight—spring to life beneath the invisible touch of masterful conjurers of string and shadow. Painted scenes shimmer like enchanted tapestries, every chair and castle wall in perfect, storybook proportion, weaving an illusion so true you cannot help but whisper, “Surely, they breathe!”
As Tchaikovsky’s melodies drift like a spell through the air, the tale unfolds with both laughter and drama—its script, spun with artistry by Peabody Award laureate Martin Stevens, glimmers with wit and heart. Robed in gowns and finery dreamed into being by the internationally celebrated enchantress of costume, Margie, the story rises from memory into fresh delight. Familiar, yet reborn, this beloved tale shines anew, like a timeless treasure rediscovered in a secret chest of wonders.
All the music you’ll hear in this production drifts from the enchanting Sleeping Beauty Suite, composed in 1890 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
And when Princess Aurora slips into her slumber, the bells that chime are not imagined at all—they ring out from the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, lovingly captured on a summer’s day in August 2016 by Dan Raynor.
