Palace Opera & Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty from The Royal Ballet
First staged in St Petersburg in 1890, The Sleeping Beauty is the pinnacle of classical ballet: a perfect marriage of Petipa’s choreography and Tchaikovsky’s music and a glorious challenge for every dancer onstage.
With Oliver Messel’s gorgeous original designs wonderfully re-imagined by Peter Farmer, and additional choreography by Anthony Dowell, Christopher Wheeldon and Frederick Ashton, today’s Sleeping Beauty not only captures the mood of the original but shows that this is very much a living work for The Royal Ballet, growing and changing with the Company while celebrating its past.

“…. One of the most independent readings of Aurora I have ever seen. The key is partly her musical boldness, as she uses the underlying romanticism of Tchaikovsky’s score to push her dancing to impetuously full stretch, and partly her instinct for dramatic shape, as she articulates the crescent curves and glittering shafts of the Vision scene with vivid clarity.”
Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
“Her poise and confidence grew with every step; so, too, the beauty of each elegantly clarified movement. Her Vision Scene was dreamy in shape and musical awareness, and in the Grand Pas de Deux she grew up before our eyes.”
Debra Craine, The Times
