oin us for a spectacular recording of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s exquisite ballet, performed in a limited run at The Royal Albert Hall, with performances that will leave you spellbound. For wonder and enchantment, look no further than this classic fairytale ballet. Experience all that is grand, gleaming, and gorgeous in a stunning version of one of the world’s favourite stories. As a baby, Princess Aurora is cursed by the wicked Carabosse: on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger and die. Her godmother the Lilac Fairy alters the spell so Aurora will not die, but sleep for one-hundred years. Only a true love’s kiss can break the spell and awaken her.
