Ballet Ireland – Scheherazade
Tue 6 Dec 2011
After last year’s sellout success of Romeo and Juliet, Ballet Ireland returns with a new full length production - the enthralling tale of Scherherazade based on The One Thousand and One Nights.
Betrayed by his former wife, King Shahriyar vows to marry, love and then behead a new bride each night, never to be betrayed again. Having murdered thousands of women, he encounters the beautiful and wise Scheherazade, who pleads to tell him a story before her impending execution. For 1001 nights, he postpones her execution enthralled, as he awaits her next tale of love, hilarity or sorrow. Her enchanting stories bewitch him and he makes her his Queen.
Escape the dark December nights and journey into the exotic tale of Scheherazade and the mystique of 1001 Arabian nights!
