Symphonic storytelling: The Sleeping Beauty

Mark Pullinger, 27th July

The Sleeping Beauty is perhaps the Ugly Duckling of Tchaikovsky’s three ballets. It was the second in the trilogy, completed in 1889, but has neither the dramatic thrust of Swan Lake nor the calorific sugar-coated charm of The Nutcracker in terms of popular appeal.

Ratmansky's for ABT is a flawless Beauty

Hilary Stroh, 27th January

All praise for Ratmansky's Sleeping Beauty, its old graces newly restored.
