And so to the second part of Peter Schaufuss’ Tchaikovsky Trilogy of the three great Russian classical ballets. In Sleeping Beauty, re-titled A Sensual Dream, the complicated weaving of the choreographer’s vision in connecting all three ballets together begins to make a little more sense – at least to those who had viewed his Swan Lake.

Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, the three great Russian classical ballet masterpieces which were created in the late 1800s, grace the repertoires of all reputable ballet companies worldwide.

Romeo and Juliet is one of the most popular ballets for both dancer and spectator and the production, created in 1955 by the great British choreographer Frederick Ashton and brought to the London Coliseum this week by the Peter Schaufuss Ballet has certainly plenty to please, especially the presence of its young protagonists.
