'Join The Royal Ballet for a Premiere stream of The Sleeping Beauty as part of our #OurHouseToYourHouse series. Watch via our channel from 7pm BST on 24 July 2020. Watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1ynQlyA7n4 The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet’s unique repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II, its first production at its new home in Covent Garden. Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful Princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revived by then Director of The Royal Ballet Monica Mason and Christopher Newton, returning Oliver Messel’s wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage. The masterful 19th-century choreography of Marius Petipa is combined with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. Together they create an enchanting sequence of ballet gems, the most famous of which is the stunning Rose Adage, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors. The many other highlights include the lilting Garland Waltz, the Vision Pas de deux as Florimund sees Aurora for the first time, and the celebratory divertissements and final pas de deux that bring the ballet to its glorious close. Throughout, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s masterful score takes ballet music to a height of passion, sophistication and intensity that arguably has never been surpassed. Enjoy this video?
