Join Ballet Theatre UK's internationally acclaimed company of gifted dancers, along with over forty handcrafted costumes and three glittering stage sets.

This spectacular production uses Tchaikovsky's glorious music and stunning classical choreography to reawaken the magic of the world's favourite fairy tale in an enchanted world of castles, curses, forests and fairies.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, Princess Aurora, lived in an enchanted castle where fairies bestowed her with gifts of beauty, temperament, purity , joy and generosity.

The wicked Fairy Carabosse places a curse on Aurora; to prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday...and die!

The beautiful and kind Lilac Fairy casts a spell to counter the curse so that instead of dying Aurora fell asleep for a hundred years. Only the touch of true love's kiss could awaken her and undo the evil spell...
