With a graceful corps de ballet, lavish sets, beautiful costumes and superbly gifted principal dancers, the Moscow Festival Ballet presents The Sleeping
Beauty, a full-length ballet in three acts set to Tchaikovsky's unforgettable music.
The 50-member Russian company uses Marius Petipa's classic choreography and brings together magical stage effects, courtly splendor and the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies to create a storybook
kingdom set in the realm of the imagination.
Replete with a king and queen, fairies both good and evil, a beautiful princess and dream prince, The Sleeping Beauty is one of the most familiar fairytales of all time and often considered the finest achievement of classical ballet.
