Sleeping Beauty
13 – 16 December
Esplanade Theatre
Sleeping Beauty is considered to be the pinnacle of classical ballet repertoire. Choreographed by Marius Petipa and set to a soaring score composed by Pyotr IIyich Tchaikovsky, Sleeping Beauty tells the timeless story of young Princess Aurora who falls prey to the evil fairy Carabosse. Only a kiss from a handsome prince will break the spell and ensure her future happiness. Sleeping Beauty features some of the most famous and demanding choreography and, in its opulence, dynamism, formal rigour and sensitivity to the sheer pleasures of choreographed stagecraft, epitomizes perhaps better than any other production, the meaning of classical ballet.
