This World Premiere children’s ballet is one of six ballets that Ballet San Jose School Director Lise la Cour has created for young audiences.

This year, she brings to the life one of the great folk tales of Denmark, THE PRINCESS AND THE TROLLS (“A Folk Legend”), presented May 30 and 31 at the beautiful and historic California Theater in downtown San Jose. “Being Danish myself, and working for years at the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, how could I not love this ballet?”. “It has a wonderful story told in a beautiful full-length ballet created by the legendary August Bournonville. He considered it to be his ‘masterpiece,’ and I think we have adapted a beautiful short version of it that young and old alike will adore. And how special that we both open and close our extended season with works inspired by the genius of August Bournonville.”

Performances of The Princess and the Trolls will be at the beautiful and historic California Theatre, located at 345 S. First St in San Jose.

Performed by students from our award-winning Ballet San Jose SCHOOL.
