Following the huge success of The Sleeping Beauty revival in 2005, and again in 2008 when it was seen by over 150,000 people, English National Ballet is once again performing Kenneth MacMillan’s sumptuous production of Petipa’s 19th century classic and bringing it to Oxford’s New Theatre in February. Combining grand sets and costumes, Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and virtuosic dancing, The Sleeping Beauty is a dazzling showcase of classical ballet.
“The staging is visually a delight… this handsome Beauty is respectful of what this masterpiece means as apotheosis of classic ballet.” Financial Times
“What a triumph” Sunday Express
Essential viewing for any child who saw My First Sleeping Beauty performed by ENB2 in Spring 2012 . This was the first of ENB’s My First Ballets series of productions, designed to bring children their first taste of the magical world of ballet.
