Cursed by a wicked fairy, the newborn Princess Aurora is fated to die from a prick to her finger on her sixteenth birthday. A good fairy intervenes to alter the wicked fairy’s tragic spell: instead of dying, Princess Aurora and her entire kingdom, will fall into a deep sleep. Only true love’s kiss will unleash the power to awaken her and the rest of her kingdom.

The classic fairytale is choreographed by Kremnev and Reznik and features Tchaikovsky’s beloved score. The stage designs feature projections of original illustrations by renowned 19^th century book illustrator Gustave Dore.
