The Australian Ballet, The Sleeping Beauty

World premiere. A new Beauty awakens

Fairies, a prince and a spell-shattering kiss: Don’t miss the world premiere of David McAllister’s The Sleeping Beauty. This highly anticipated new production will take history’s most loved fairytale into the modern age, with lavish sets and costumes by Gabriela Tylesova and never-seen-before staging, designs and choreography.

Be swept into a world of magical fairies and bluebirds with Aurora and her Prince, as they dance their way through rose gardens and Imperial Courts, to Tchaikovsky’s enchanting score.
