Engineering Student Affairs invites you to the NYC ballet Sleeping Beauty!

For many years, it was Lincoln Kirstein’s dream to mount the ballet at New York City Ballet.  Thus, Martins chose Kirstein’s 80th birthday celebration on May 4, 1987, to announce that the Company would produce The Sleeping Beauty.  It is one of the most elaborate productions presented by the Company, requiring over 100 dancers, including students from the School of American Ballet.  Martins' version is streamlined into Two Acts, which combine the drama and beauty of the original choreography with the speed and energy for which New York City Ballet is known.
