Sleeping Beauty
The story of Sleeping Beauty, inspired by ancient European tales such as that of Charles Perrault, tells how Princess Aurora falls under a curse that plunges her into a 100-year sleep after pricking her finger on a spindle. In Tchaikovsky’s ballet, that long silence is transformed into music: fairies, courtiers, and magical visions accompany the passage of time until a prince manages to wake the princess with a kiss.
