Matthew Bourne: The Sleeping Beauty

Matthew Bourne completes his internationally celebrated trio of Tchaikovsky ballet masterworks. “Britain’s most successful choreographer” (The Times) begins the heroine’s story in the year of Sleeping Beauty’s first performance – when fairies, vampires and decadent opulence fed the Gothic imagination – and awakens Aurora from her century-long slumber in the mysteries of the modern world. This award-winning Sleeping Beauty “will blow your mind with [Bourne’s] sheer imagination, wit and brio” (The Times). “Extraordinary. Fantastic. Dazzling. Masterful” (Sunday Express).
