    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 life one of the great folk tales of Denmark, The Princess and the Trolls (“A Folk Legend”). Based on a masterpiece created by the legendary August Bournonville, the ballet tells the tale of a Princess and a Troll switched at birth. It will delight and amaze the entire family. Says la Cour, “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.” The ballet will be performed by students from our award-winning Ballet San Jose School. This is a Children's Series show - a 60-75 minute program specifically designed for young audiences to make the art of ballet available, understandable and enjoyable for children.
