In this new performance series of The Sleeping Beauty, will also feature a number of soloists dancing the leading roles, including Princess Aurora and Prince Florimund, who have not previously done so with Dutch National Ballet. Together, Wright and Prowse breathed new life into The Sleeping Beauty, ensuring the heritage of Petipa and Tchaikovsky continue to dazzle and enchant us in the twenty-first century as well. Prowse set the story in the French courts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which later served as an important model for the tsars’ courts in Russia. Sir Peter Wright worked on his acclaimed staging of The Sleeping Beauty with set and costume designer Philip Prowse, who decked out the fairy tale in breathtaking gold. Wright’s Beauty has all the glamour and allure that befits a production originally intended for the court of the Russian tsar.

To this day, it has earned him and the company numerous standing ovations and rave reviews. Almost one hundred years later, the Englishman Sir Peter Wright adapted and staged the production for Dutch National Ballet, showing great respect for the original. Created by the French-Russian choreographer Marius Petipa and the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, The Sleeping Beauty (1890) was one of the greatest successes of Russian classical ballet.
