Sleeping Beauty - International Festival Ballet Tickets

Sleeping Beauty was a beautiful child,... It will be a fairytale world of fairies, princes and a beautiful girl, as the best ballet ensemble of the "International Festival Ballet" presents the fabulous story of one of the most popular children's tales of our time - Sleeping Beauty.

Originally known in Germany as a tale by the Brothers Grimm, the story of the young girl who is cursed by an evil fairy and can only be saved with the kiss of true love was adapted as a ballet and premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg in 1890. To this day, Sleeping Beauty remains one of the most popular ballets and is now part of the standard international repertoire of classical ballet. The Sleeping Beauty ballet was created in close collaboration between Peter I. Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa, probably the most important choreographer of the 19th century.

Its formal perfection and highly developed choreographic and musical expression fascinate the discerning connoisseur. Thanks to its fairytale-like immediacy and theatrical splendour, the Sleeping Beauty ballet also delights a wide audience. In addition, the grandiose set design by the brilliant theatre designer Vjatscheslav Okunev, who has worked for the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg and La Scala in Milan, among others, beautiful costumes and the boundless elegance and carefree lightness of the "International Festival Ballet" ballet ensemble ensure a dreamy and fairytale-like version of a classical ballet that continues to fascinate even after more than 100 years.
