About the Performance
One of the most glorious expressions of 19th-century European classicism, The Sleeping Beauty is captivating and supremely entertaining, a seamless blend of choreographic and musical invention (score by Tchaikovsky), stagecraft on a grand scale, and dancing of breathtaking virtuosity. It is also classical ballet at its most spectacular! Rudolf Nureyev’s sumptuous 1972 production -- restaged by Artistic Director Karen Kain in 2006 – features 50 magnificent sets, 340 gorgeous costumes, and 122 wigs, making it the most stunningly beautiful production in company history.
" …a splendidly refurbished version of the Russian classic [opened] to tumultuous applause … the production has grandeur and sweep… choreographic magnificence. Nureyev’s version is acknowledged as one of the finest anywhere… and Kain infused the dancing with vitality and style. The Sleeping Beauty shimmers and sparkles as never before." Michael Crabb, The National Post, November 14, 2006
