English National Ballet - Sleeping Beauty

Experience all that is grand, gleaming and gorgeous with English National Ballet in this stunning version of one of the world’s favourite stories.

As a baby, Princess Aurora is cursed by the wicked Carabosse: on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger and die. Her godmother the Lilac Fairy alters the spell so Aurora will not die, but sleep for 100 years. Only a true love’s kiss can break the spell and awaken her.

From Aurora’s christening in the grand hall of the palace, to her jubilant wedding celebrations, the bewitching fairy tale is brought to life before your eyes.

Brimming with beautiful choreography and sumptuous sets and costumes (by legendary designers Nicholas Georgiadis and Peter Farmer), you’ll be whisked away to an enchanted land of fairy tale characters and good versus evil.

This lavish spectacle is heightened by one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet scores, played live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
