North Atlantic Ballet’s The Little Mermaid

There will be three performances of The Little Mermaid:

Believe it or not, a life lived under the sea can grow stale rather quickly.

For The Little Mermaid, the surface is her dream. Based on the original Hans Christiann Andersen tale, this larger than life ballet tells the story of a curious young mermaid on a quest to become a human with a soul. Join as her journey unfolds on her 15th birthday, celebrating her first chance to rise to the ocean’s surface to see the lands she’s only heard of from older sisters. On the surface, she encounters a handsome Prince celebrating on a ship. When he tumbles overboard, the Little Mermaid rescues him while falling madly in love. This is where her true journey begins…

The Little Mermaid bravely travels through the depths of the ocean, encountering creatures both friendly and frightening, to reach the Sea Witch’s lair as she is the only being with the power to help her dreams come true. The offer she is given comes at a high price, but the Little Mermaid eagerly trades her beautiful voice for the chance to become a human with a soul.

Once on land, she is discovered by the Prince, who becomes enchanted by her dancing, unfolding an epic story of dreams, courage, love, and noble sacrifice.
