Sleeping Beauty (Moscow Festival Ballet)

The Moscow Festival Ballet presents leading dancers from across the Russias in what is often considered the finest achievement of the Classical ballet. Sleeping Beauty is a grandiose and refined blending of the traditional mime, expressive pas d’action and spectacular divertissements in a lavish theatrical setting. Music by Tchaikovsky, this fairy tale replete with a king and queen, fairies both good and evil, a beautiful princess and dream prince, magical stage effects, and courtly splendor, lends itself perfectly to a full afternoon of “beauty.”
