Journey with The Royal Ballet to an enchanted world of princesses, fairy godmothers and magical spells in this landmark production of Marius Petipa’s classic Russian ballet, to Tchaikovsky’s glorious score. Sixty years after its debut, the original staging is revived alongside dazzling new sequences by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. From the iconic Rose Adage, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors, and the lilting Garland Waltz to the Vision Pas de deux, together they create a fantastic production that is sure to cast a spell over anyone who sees it.
