SLEEPING BEAUTY

'The grandest achievement, the pinnacle of style, amongst the great classics'

The Sunday Times

Show Info

Tchaikovsky's glorious music and MacMillan's classical choreography reawaken the magic of the world's favourite fairy tale in an enchanted world of castles and curses, forests and fairies.

On her christening day Princess Aurora is cursed by the wicked fairy Carabosse: one day the Princess will prick her finger on a spindle and die. But the kind Lilac Fairy tempers the curse so the Princess will instead fall asleep for 100 years.

With a classical score by Tchaikovsky and original choreography by Marius Petipa, The Sleeping Beauty is considered one of the greatest ballets from Imperial Russia.

This thrilling production is by Birmingham Royal Ballet’s former director Sir Peter Wright, creator of the Company's popular production of The Nutcracker. With its romantic finale packed with every fairytale character imaginable, The Sleeping Beauty is as engaging now as when she first fell asleep, over a hundred years ago.
