A good fairy intervenes to alter the wicked fairy’s tragic spell: instead of dying, Princess Aurora, and her entire kingdom, will fall into a deep sleep. Only true love’s kiss will unleash the power to awaken her and the rest of her kingdom. This pinnacle of classical dance is heralded as ballet’s most sumptuous and artistically exacting masterpiece.
