Greet the spring with a gorgeous and dazzling balletic picture-scroll
A gorgeous and dazzling production filled with a celebratory spirit and first staged here to commemorate the opening of the New National Theatre. Of Tchaikovsky's three great ballets, this is on the grandest scale, with a refinement and formal beauty appropriate to a work that has been called the very pinnacle of nineteenth-century Russian ballet. The final scene has an especially enjoyable wit, as the characters from Perrault's other fairy-tales arrive to celebrate the marriage of the protagonists.

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.
