Classical dance has always shone with its own light, but now it shines even brighter thanks to Ballet of Lights Bogotá, the dance spectacle that opens the doors to the art of ballet… and to the lights. Because here, the dancers are dressed in luminous costumes that move to the beat of Tchaikovsky’s music and one of the most beloved fairy tales: Sleeping Beauty.
Ballet of Lights in Bogotá: What shows are playing right now?
Sleeping Beauty
Based on Charles Perrault’s fairy tale and adapted into a ballet by Tchaikovsky in the 19th century, Sleeping Beauty is much more than just a princess under a spell. It is a story about the passage of time, the fear of growing up, and the hope that always finds a way. The deep sleep symbolizes life’s inevitable pauses—those moments when everything seems to stand still before a new beginning. Revisiting this story is a chance to rediscover the idea that even in the longest darkness, light eventually awakens.
What is Ballet of Lights?
It is an innovative show that breathes new life into classical art by combining traditional ballet with the latest in lighting technology. The dancers, wearing costumes that glow with lights, move across a stage filled with music and scenery, striking a balance between the classical and the modern. With this production, ballet feels more accessible and connects with all kinds of audiences, even those who had never considered seeing it live.
Ballet of Lights Bogotá awaits you at the Mario Laserna Auditorium on select dates over the coming months. Doors open 30 minutes before each performance, and tickets are available in different categories, with unnumbered seats assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each category.
