Anyone sitting in the audience for one of principal dancer Lesley Rausch’s recent performances as Princess Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty was in for a real treat. Ms. Rausch and her partner, fellow PNB principal dancer Karel Cruz, filled the three-hour long production with exceptional dancing and pure ballet magic. Here’s a quick photo recap of some of our favorite moments:

Bravo to all of the artists (onstage and off) who made this exceptional run possible. And, our sincere thanks to you, our loyal patrons, subscribers, and donors…we hope to see you at McCaw Hall again in 2014!
