The three-act Peter Pan ballet has been held in the city a few times but never has it been reinterpreted with colour-changing costumes. At “Ballet of Lights” in Auckland, you’ll enter a world sprinkled with fairy dust as professional ballerinas illuminate the stage with glowing performances of the beloved ballet.
Neverland is coming to SkyCity Auckland located in the Central Business District on selected dates. However, due to limited capacity, audiences are encouraged to secure their tickets in advance. See Peter Pan take flight, Tinker Bell glow with fiery spirit and Captain Hook endlessly search for the boy who refused to grow up in a unique ballet production!
Ballet of Lights: bringing Peter Pan to Auckland
“Ballet of Lights” is a shortened version of the Peter Pan ballet, made more accessible for all audiences. Over the course of 60 minutes, six dancers invite adults to rediscover the wonder of childhood through graceful choreography, evocative music and light-changing costumes. This way, audiences are captivated not only by the production’s theatricality, but by the twinkling optical fibres incorporated into the ballerina’s costumes, highlighting their every move.
Peter Pan told through light, music, and dance
Written by celebrated Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie, the story of the boy who refused to grow up whisks both readers and ballet audiences away to the starry skies of Neverland. It is a magical world, packed with fairies, pirates and lost boys who yearn adventure.
“Ballet of Lights” casts a spell of nostalgia and delight by bringing the dreamlike qualities of the world-renowned tale and combining them with glittering costumes. As the ballet dancers move to the melodies of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by Mendelssohn, Haendel’s “Sarabande” and “The Moldau” by Bedřich Smetana, the fibre optic-enhanced costumes change lights accordingly and the stage becomes a dreamscape of luminous fairies and flights of fancy.
With every arabesque and pirouette, the story of Peter, Wendy and the mischievous Tinker Bell springs to life at “Ballet of Lights” in Auckland. Rediscover this classic tale with a luminous twist at SkyCity Auckland on selected dates.
Every evening you can choose between two back-to-back shows scheduled for 6:00pm and 8:00pm. Tickets are sold in categories and seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone.
