This beautiful ballet tells the story of Princess Aurora who was born to the King and Queen of a magical fairytale kingdom. A wicked fairy curses Aurora at her christening and promises that she will prick her finger on a spindle and die. The Lilac Fairy comes to the aid of the royal family and uses her magic to alter the wicked Carabosse’s spell. Aurora is now destined to fall into a deep sleep only to be awoken by true love’s kiss. A century later, with the help of The Lilac Fairy, a Prince seeks to wake Aurora from this sleep and lift the spell. A magical story awaits audiences who embark on this adventure.
