Carolina Ballet presents The Little Mermaid

Drawn to the world above, a young mermaid becomes enamored with life beyond the sea when she encounters a human prince. Longing for a life that feels fully her own, the Little Mermaid discovers that through sacrifice and the fortitude to follow one’s heart, it is possible to find one’s voice.

Inspired by Aaron Severini’s alluring original score and Rebecca Rebouché ‘s striking backdrops, this underwater tale admonishes that metamorphosis, courage and experiences come at a cost, yet the pursuit of introspection is never in vain. A fitting program for audiences of all ages, we invite you to dive into a magically kinetic realm beneath the surface.
