Sleeping Beauty - pure classical fairytale ballet!
This ballet classic has been delighting young and old for more than 100 years. With ease and the highest technical perfection, the audience is whisked away into a fairytale world full of grace, beauty and elegance.
"Sleeping Beauty" is considered the most successful of all ballets from the great Tsarist era. Tchaikovsky considered it to be his best ballet.
The collaboration of two such extraordinarily creative forces as the choreographer Marius Petipa and the composer Peter I. Tchaikovsky produced a work that shows a complete unity in all parts that had not been seen on the Russian stage for a long time.
The story takes the audience into a magical realm where goodness and beauty reign, and to which one always wants to return, even as an adult. The fascinating splendor of the stage set and 300 costumes, the fairy-tale plot, the music and the dance complete the vital work and turn the romantic ballet performance into a true feast.
Graceful fairy godmothers, the beautiful Princess Aurora, who has fallen into a hundred-year sleep in an enchanted forest of thorns, Little Red Riding Hood with the wolf, Puss in Boots, the Blue Bird - in unsurpassed graceful choreographies, the fantastic creatures of the fairytale world conquer the stage in Tchaikovsky's masterpiece.
Each scene is illustrated by a narrative, so that even the youngest members of the audience can follow the danced scenes and the ballet plot.
