AN ENCHANTED UNDERWATER ADVENTURE
"Visually stunning...an underwater Lion King, where puppetry and dancing combine to create a magical ocean world."

Hans Christian Anderson's brilliant tale, popularized by Disney's animation, comes to life in Inland Pacific Ballet's The Little Mermaid, and a surprise ending adds special joy to this enchanted love story.

This spectacular landmark production boasts magnificent sets (even a live shipwreck!) and ornate costumes (including a cast of delightful undersea creatures) which are a feast for the eyes. A sweeping sound collage of great composers, from Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, to Benjamin Britten and Raif Vaughn Williams furthers the drama and emotion as the Little Mermaid goes on her adventures. Innovative aerial technology has been created to generate an under-the-sea-environment.
