About the Ballet
Step into the enchanted world of a Viennese toyshop where, at the stroke of midnight, the shelves come alive. Dolls from every corner of the globe — Spanish señoritas, Japanese geishas, Russian matryoshkas, and the mischievous Pierrots — awaken to dance under the spell of the most beautiful doll of all: the Fairy Doll.
First staged in Vienna in 1888 to the music of Josef Bayer, The Fairy Doll (Die Puppenfee) is a beloved one-act ballet treasured for its charm, humor, and dazzling classical choreography. Its iconic Fairy Doll variation remains one of the most recognizable showpieces in the classical repertoire.
A jewel-box of pointe work, playful mime, and sparkling character dances.
Stepanova Ballet Academy's students bring this timeless story to life in a production that celebrates artistry, discipline, and the pure joy of ballet. Whether you're a longtime fan of classical dance or introducing a young dancer to their first performance, The Fairy Doll is an unforgettable evening at the theatre.
