Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s exquisite ballet will leave you spellbound. A stunning version of one of the world’s favourite fairytales. Experience all that is grand, gleaming and gorgeous, filmed at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Featuring First Soloist Anna Nevzorova as Aurora and Guest Artist, 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.
This lavish spectacle is heightened by one of Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet scores, played live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
