Immerse yourself in a mystical underwater world! Canyon Concert Ballet’s beautiful new ballet will re-imagine the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale and take you on a journey beneath the waves. Blending Andersen’s poignant tale of longing and sacrifice and today’s popularized children’s version, adults and children alike are sure to be entertained.
Choreographed by Artistic Director, Alicia Laumann, and set in Renaissance Denmark (Anderson’s home country) Laumann’s unique contemporary ballet movement will be accompanied to an eclectic classical and Renaissance score befitting the story. You won’t want to miss this brand new lavish production.
