Alina Cojocaru, Federico Bonelli, Christopher Saunders, Elizabeth McGorian, Alastair Marriott, Genesia Rosato & Marianela Nuñez The Royal Ballet & The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Valeriy Ovsyanikov Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty is one of the best loved of
classical ballets, combining in a single work all the enchantment
and virtuosity that ballet has to offer. The royal court, the
panoramic journey of the Prince to the overgrown castle, and
the great celebratory dances of the happy ending (in which
other famous fairytale figures appear) are all brought to life by
the luscious designs of this celebrated production, created in
1946 for the The Royal Ballet. The inspired performances of its
revival for the 75th anniversary of the Company in 2006,
together with a magnificent High Definition recording, make this
a superb tribute to The Royal Ballet’s unique style and visual
splendour. ‘Alina Cojocaru’s Aurora was the ballet’s radiant centrepiece, charming, in control and filled with a palpable delight in every pretty step.’ Times Online “In 2006, the company revived its classic Sleeping Beauty, featuring pretty Oliver Messel designs and a spruce choreography combining the romantic Petipa original with Ashton's hallmark narrative. Nuñez is charm personified as the Lilac Fairy, and has there ever been a more enchanting Aurora than Cojocaru?” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 **** |
