‘The Sleeping Beauty’ brings together all of the appeal of classical ballet in one great work. There is the timeless fairy story of the young princess, the wicked witch Carabosse, a century of sleep and the awakening kiss of a handsome prince. There is spectacle in the court scenes, a wealth of dances for the corps de ballet and wonderful opportunities for the Soloists’ skill. A gorgeous Tchaikovsky score, classic Petipa choreography, an enchanting fairytale, and plenty to celebrate.
