The Sleeping Beauty
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Fairy-tale ballet by Reginaldo Oliveira based on the story by Charles Perrault
Synopsis
“The Sleeping Beauty” is considered the greatest masterpiece by composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In addition to the spellbindingly beautiful ballet music and the enchanting fairy-tale motifs, principal choreographer Reginaldo Oliveira focuses on the story’s archaic questions of good and evil, of rejection and revenge.
“It is especially for these central scenes that Oliveira has developed an original modern ballet idiom, set against a background of classical pointe work, which unfolds expressive phrases of movement to match Tchaikovsky’s score. The meticulously choreographed solo performances, pas de deux and group sequences blend together and are ideally tailored to the three solo dancers.” Die Deutsche Bühne
