The Sleeping Beauty

Often called the 'encyclopedia of classical ballet,' The Sleeping Beauty is a grand, opulent production that showcases the full spectrum of the Imperial Russian style. With Tchaikovsky's magnificent score and Petipa's intricate choreography, it is a test of stamina and precision for the entire company. The role of Princess Aurora is notoriously difficult, requiring a dancer to maintain poise and technical perfection through several demanding variations. It is a visual feast of tutus, elaborate sets, and fairy-tale magic that defines the classical tradition at its most spectacular.
