The ballet’s essence is good gloriously triumphant over evil. Act 1 at Aurora’s Christening, the relatives present gifts to the baby, but it is interrupted by wicked Aunt Carabosse who places a curse upon Aurora. To reverse the curse the good Aunt Lilac places Aurora, her family and Guests in the Palace Gardens in a cryogenic frozen state to sleep for one hundred years.
The Cryonite Fairies protect her until she is awakened by her Prince. Upon his kiss the curse is lifted and Carabosse is defeated. With sparkling new costumes and splendid scenery this spellbinding classic promises excellent dancing, EYB brings this brilliant production to the Regent Theatre.
