The Sleeping Beauty
Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky’s fairy-tale ballet The Sleeping Beauty premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg in 1890, and has been considered one of the most challenging action ballets up to now. In 2007, Aaron S. Watkin staged this famous story in the tradition of Marius Petipa’s legendary choreography. For its revival in the 2023/24 season, Marcelo Gomes stages an adaptation of this classic, by adding some nuances of his own individual aesthetic style, and drawing on the essence of the popular fairy-tale: Princess Aurora's development from a child to a young woman. This includes the royal baptism in the circle of the good fairies, interrupted by demoniac fairy Carabosse, the attenuated fulfilment of her curse in the form of a hundred-year slumber and Aurora’s final reawakening after a prince’s kiss.
