A hundred years later, the Lilac Fairy shows Prince Désiré the sleeping Princess in a vision. He falls in love and sets out to find her. When he kisses her, the spell is broken and she awakes. She chooses him as her husband, and they celebrate their marriage with a lavish masked ball.
“The production preserves the 1890 choreography of Marius Petipa, widely regarded as the foundational masterpiece of classical ballet, with intricate variations demanding elite technical precision, flawless placement, and immense stamina. At the heart of the performance is the timeless story of Princess Aurora, the curse, the century-long slumber, and the prince who breaks it, brought to life with rich theatrical craft.”
