DETAILS

This work is a grand ballet reworked for the opening of the National Ballet of Japan's 2014/15 Season. The staging has been praised as "simply luxurious"; combination of the choreography by Wayne Eagling that maintains a classical style while also employing modern sensibilities, with the sophisticated, colourful costumes perfected by Toer van Schayk which echoes his former career as a dancer, and the eminently tasteful and gorgeous artistry of Kawaguchi Naoji. The leading dancers appear in successive solo performances, providing a sense of the ample dance talent at the National Ballet of Japan. Come and experience the true pleasure of ballet as a comprehensive art form with this classical masterpiece loved the world over as one of Tchaikovsky's three greatest works.

SYNOPSIS

The curtain rises on the scene of the christening ceremony to celebrate the birth of a princess. As fairies bestow their blessings on Princess Aurora one after another, the wicked fairy Carabosse, who is enraged that she was not invited to the ceremony, places a curse upon Aurora that she will one day prick her finger on the needle of a spinning wheel and die.And on her 16th birthday, Aurora does indeed do just that and fades away. One hundred years later, when a prince, led by the Lilac Fairy, kisses the sleeping Aurora, the curse is immediately broken and Princess Aurora awakens. A grand wedding ceremony is held for the prince and the princess.
