March 7-24

Carolina Ballet presents The Little Mermaid

Venue: Fletcher Opera Theater, Raleigh

Program: Carolina Ballet is very excited to embark upon a new world-premiere ballet set to the story of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid featuring live music and a new score from composer Aaron Severini. Different from our previously presented Mermaid program, this version will feature brand-new sets and costumes. The production will surely dazzle audiences, and it will appeal to both the first-time attendee and the sophisticated ballet-goer as well.
