The National Russian Ballet Renaissance will continue performing at the Maj on April 6 directly after their rendition of Romeo and Juliet when they perform a one-night only performance on Sleeping Beauty.
This beautiful story is a sad one, especially the Brothers Grimm version, but a Disney miracle turned it into an enchanting and entrancing sweep of music and colors.
The Maj site describes this version of the ballet as "Tchaikovsky’s first successful ballet score, Sleeping Beauty has been enchanting audiences of all ages since 1890. This tale of a princess, a spell, a 100-year sleep, and a kiss is a tour de force of classical dancing, with brilliant solo choreography and ensemble pageantry."
Which makes me wonder ...
If life were actually fairytale-like would we all be Cinderella's, damsels-in-distress or would we be Ariel's, rebellious, inquisitive beauties?
Something to ponder ...
