The National Ballet of Japan's "The Sleeping Beauty" will be available on DVD Book


The National Ballet of Japan (NBJ)'s production of "The Sleeping Beauty" choreographed by Wayne EAGLING which premiered in October 2014, will be released as DVD Book this week.


EAGLING's breathtakingly beautiful staging has been praised as "simply luxurious"; choreography by Wayne EAGLING maintains a classical style while also introducing modern sensibilities.
