The Sleeping Beauty (The Royal Ballet)
The worthless fairy Carabosse rages she wasn't invited to Princess Aurora's christening. She offers the child a pin, stating that a person day the Princess will puncture her finger on it as well as die. The Lilac Fairy makes her own christening gift a softening of Carabosse's curse: Aurora will certainly not die, however will fall into a deep rest, which only a royal prince's kiss will damage. The skillful 19th-century choreography of Marius Petipa is incorporated with areas created for The Royal Dancing by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. Taped live as part of the Royal Opera House Live Cinema Period 2019/20 with encore screenings relay online during the #OurHousetoYourHouse program.
