Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty is one of the best loved of classical ballets,
combining in a single work all the enchantment and virtuosity that ballet has to offer.
The royal court, the panoramic journey of the Prince to the overgrown castle,
and the great celebratory dances of the happy ending (in which other famous fairytale figures appear)
are all brought to life by the luscious designs of this celebrated production,
created in 1946 for the The Royal Ballet. The inspired performances of its revival for the 75th anniversary
of the Company in 2006, together with a magnificent High Definition recording,
make this a superb tribute to The Royal Ballet’s unique style and visual splendour.

The Royal Ballet & The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Anthony Twiner
Choreographer: Frederick Ashton

Ever since it s triumphant premiere in January 1960, Frederick Ashton's La fille mal gardée has been esteemed as one of his happiest creations.
This is a charming piece, elegantly performed, a village love affair set in the idyllic Constable landscape of Ashton's imagination.
Marianela Nuñez and Carlos Acosta would be show-stoppers in almost any suitable role, but as Lise and Colas they are superb.
William Tuckett and Jonathan Howells, in the comic roles of Simone and Alain respectively,
are every bit as arresting, both displaying a certain genius for knockabout.
The luminously colourful Osbert Lancaster designs, together with the vitality of The Royal Ballet's dancing
and vibrant playing from the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House under the baton of Anthony Twiner,
serve to augment the harmless good fun at which Ashton excels.
