Join Ballet Theatre UK's internationally acclaimed company of dancers for this dazzling new ballet production, featuring dramatic stage sets, elegant costumes and Tchaikovsky’s memorable score. Reawaken the magic of the world’s favourite fairy tale in an enchanted world of castles and curses, forests and fairies.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, Princess Aurora lived in an enchanted castle where fairies bestowed her with wonderful gifts at her christening but the wicked Fairy Carabosse puts a curse on Aurora; to prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday. The beautiful and kind Lilac Fairy casts a spell to counter the curse so Aurora will not die but fall asleep for a hundred years. Only the touch of true love’s kiss can awaken her and undo the evil spell.
