The Sleeping Beauty x English National Ballet at the Royal Albert Hall

"If through this wicked witch's trick, a spindle should your finger prick."

Famed for its fairytale romance and challenges so technical they'd give any ballerina a run for their money, The Sleeping Beauty is history's quintessential ballet so much so that Sir Kenneth MacMillan brought iconic composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's 1890 story into modern importance in 1987. And now, you get to see it reimagined on one of the world's most iconic stages: the Royal Albert Hall performed by none other than the English National Ballet Philharmonic for two nights only!

What's The Story?

Princess Aurora is cursed by the wicked Carabosse and doomed to prick her finger on her 16th birthday. Saved from death by the Lilac Fairy, Aurora falls into a deep sleep one that will last 100 years, until true love's kiss awakens her.

From the grand bustle of Aurora's christening to the joy and pageantry of her wedding, every scene in this production features costumes and opulent designs by Nicholas Georgiadis, accompanied by the elegant choreography of MacMillan.
