International Ballet Stars – A World Premiere Ballet Experience
Where pop-art icon meets classical ballet
A spectacular World Premiere production, Alice in Wonderland reimagines Lewis Carroll’s beloved story through a bold, wildly imaginative artistic vision — featuring breathtaking sets and costumes designed in collaboration with world-renowned artist Romero Britto. This one-of-a-kind production pushes the boundaries of classical ballet, blending the elegance of world-class cast with the visual spectacle of Broadway-style theatrical design, and the vibrant energy of pop art. The result is a new form of live entertainment that amazes, surprises, and transports audiences into a world unlike anything they’ve seen on stage.
Step into a magical world where imagination comes alive. Audiences follow Alice down the rabbit hole into a surreal wonderland bursting with color, fantasy, and theatrical charm — from a charming Mad Hatter to a delightfully parodic Queen of Hearts. Each scene explodes with immersive visuals, extraordinary characters, and the grace and power of an international cast of ballet stars.
With its sophisticated storytelling, bold visual design, and captivating performances, Alice in Wonderland enchants children and adults alike.
