“The Sleeping Beauty” ranks among the great story ballets — a tour de force of classical choreography and fairy-tale charm driven by a magnificent score by Russian composer Pyotr Iyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893).
With a history dating to at least the 1500’s, the fairy tale at the heart of the ballet is the story of a beautiful princess cursed into a long sleep unless a handsome young prince awakens her with a kiss.
This family-friendly production comes to life with storybook scenery, glittering costumes and pristine choreography, which many consider the gold standard for classical technique.
Presented by the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, which has been staging professional ballet in Pittsburgh since 1968.
