Theatro São Pedro
A ballet classic comes to life by candlelight
On the stage of the historic Theatro São Pedro, the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky takes on a new dimension. The program features some of the most recognizable passages from Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker.
From the delicacy of the Sugar Plum Fairy’s Dance to the grandeur of the Waltz of the Flowers, each piece evokes a world of fantasy, emotion, and beauty. And with the dancers on stage, the experience becomes even more dynamic, transforming every note into a living image.
A historic theater, thousands of candles, and just a few dates
Opened in 1917, the Theatro São Pedro is one of the oldest theaters in São Paulo. And there’s one detail that makes this experience even more special: the show has only two scheduled dates. The first takes place on October 23.
The candles burn for only a short time. Secure your tickets for the Candlelight Ballet: The Best of Tchaikovsky and let yourself be carried away by the music.
