The Sleeping Beauty is a ballet in a prologue and three acts, composed by Tchaikovsky in 1889. It is Tchaikovsky's second ballet, and his second-longest work at 160 minutes.

The story follows the classic fairytale of Princess Aurora, who is cursed by the evil fairy Carabosse to prick her finger on a spindle and die on her 16th birthday. The good fairy, the Lilac Fairy, is able to modify the curse so that instead of dying, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep for 100 years until awakened by the kiss of a prince.

After the prologue introducing the curse, the story follows Aurora growing up, celebrating her 16th birthday, pricking her finger, and falling into the 100-year slumber. In the final act, Prince Desire is led by the Lilac Fairy to Aurora's castle, where he finds her and awakens her with a kiss, breaking the curse. The ballet ends with a grand wedding celebration.

The Sleeping Beauty is known for its technically demanding choreography, lavish sets and costumes, and of course, Tchaikovsky's sweeping, iconic musical score. It remains one of the most beloved and frequently performed classical ballets to this day.
Be spellbound by the iconic variations, stunning choreography by Lev Ivanov after Marius Petipa, and the graceful movements of the world-renown State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine under the Artistic Direction of Andrei Litvinov. Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Classical Arts Entertainment, this production features brand new lavish sets, hand-painted scenery, and exquisite costumes designed by the most talented artists of Ukraine!
