Sleeping Beauty
For the third consecutive year, the Ballet de Jalisco, the state’s only professional troupe, presents this stunning work by Charles Perrault in the glorious setting of the famed Cabañas Institute. Enhancing the piece will be a multi-media show and fireworks.
This year’s 19th Festival Cultural de Mayo (May Cultural Festival) in Guadalajara will not feature a guest country for the first time in many editions. Instead, organizers are inviting high quality performers from seven nations that have been invited to the festival in recent years. Artists from Mexico, Germany, Spain, Canada (Quebec), the United Kingdom, France and Hungary have been booked for the month-long festival.
The Ballet de Jalisco has programmed three additional performances of “La Bella Durmiente” (Sleeping Beauty) due to a high demand for tickets.
