English National Ballet presents The Sleeping Beauty

We invite you into a world where time stands still – where magic, drama and romance unfold through every step and note. A world rooted in classical tradition, and still as captivating now as when it was first performed. This is a journey through a timeless fairytale, brought to life by Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s score and Kenneth MacMillan’s exquisite choreography – a celebration of beauty, strength, and grace.

Sir Kenneth MacMillan's exquisite ballet will leave you spellbound. A stunning version of one of the world's favourite fairytales, filmed at London's Royal Albert Hall. Featuring First Soloist Anna Nevzorova as Aurora and Davi Ramos as Prince Désiré, the film will whisk you away to an enchanted land and a story of good versus evil. As a baby, Princess Aurora is cursed by the wicked Carabosse (Eireen Evrard). Her godmother, the Lilac Fairy (Anri Sugiura), alters the spell so Aurora will not die, but sleep for 100 years. Only a true love's kiss can awaken her.

From Aurora's christening in the palace, to her jubilant wedding, the bewitching tale is brought to life before your eyes through beautiful choreography, sumptuous costumes and stunning new projection sets by Charlotte MacMillan.
