The Sleeping Beauty holds
a very special place in The Royal Ballet’s heart and history. It was the first
performance given by the Company when the Royal Opera House reopened at Covent
Garden in 1946 after World War II. In 2006, this original staging was revived
and has been delighting audiences ever since. Frederick Ashton famously cited
the pure classicism of Marius Petipa’s 19th-century ballet as a
private lesson in the atmospheric art and craft of choreography. Be swept away
by Tchaikovsky’s ravishing music and Oliver Messel’s sumptuous fairytale designs
with this true gem from the classical ballet repertory.
