The Arts Centre Gold Coast invites you to experience the Russian Ballet Theatre’s performance of Sleeping Beauty on Wednesday October 21. Sleeping Beauty has a special place in the The Russian National Ballet Theatre’s repertoire. One of the most lavish theatrical events of all time, the original St Petersburg staging of The Sleeping Beauty in 1890 was a spectacular illustration of the Russian Imperial style at its zenith. Today it remains the cornerstone of The Russian National Ballet Theatre’s repertory.

The current staging is directed by Evgeny Amosov. With its huge cast, fairytale settings and glorious Tchaikovsky score The Sleeping Beauty remains the very essence of classical grandeur. This version has all the elements of an enduring fairy tale: romance, poetry, fate, goodness versus evil, and of course, love! Don’t miss this premiere production!

With more than 50 ballet dancers, The Russian National Ballet Theatre will give Russian ballet a new lease of life
