Beauty and the Beast 2024/25

Join us for one of the most loved fairytales of all time!

Our handsome Count is cursed to spend his life transformed into a frightening beast. The only way to escape his fate and break the spell is to learn to fall in love and earn love in return before the last petal of the magic rose falls.
