The Russian
National Ballet performing
The
Sleeping Beauty
A full-length ballet in three acts, with music by
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographed by Marius Petipa.
The Sleeping Beauty, a crowning jewel of Petipa’s career, is
often considered the finest achievement of Classical ballet.
It is a grandiose and refined blending of the traditional mime,
expressive pas d’action and spectacular divertissements in a
lavish theatrical setting. In this fairy tale, a baby princess,
condemned at her christening by an evil fairy to prick her
finger and die on her 16th birthday, is saved by the gift of
the good Lilac Fairy, who declares the princess will only
sleep until awakened by the kiss of a prince.
Russia’s renowned classical ballet company dances
a sparkling production of Sleeping Beauty, which remains
one of Tchaikovsky’s most beloved compositions and, in
hisown words, perhaps “the best piece of music he ever
wrote.” From its marvelous cast of dancers to its glorious
Tchaikovsky score and its sumptuous costumes and
sets, the production is simply magical in every way.
“Joyful! A corps de ballet of beauty and style,
led by stylish and gifted principals.”
~Moscow Daily
