Based on Charles Perrault's classic fairy tale,
Sleeping Beauty has been hugely successful since
its premiere in 1890. Marius Petipa's masterpiece
- involving a beautiful princess, enchantment of
sleep and a handsome prince - is one of the most
popular and accomplished choreographic works
in the classical repertoire. The new version by Yuri
Grigorovich will captivate the whole family and
fairy tale-lovers during the Christmas season.
