The Sleeping Beauty

Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier From February 19 To 23, 2025

The Sleeping Beauty, one of the most famous classical ballets, receives a unique adaptation through the vision of Marcia Haydée, a former prima ballerina and dance legend. Set to Tchaikovsky’s beautiful score, this ballet provides a distinctive interpretation of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale.

The wicked fairy Carabosse, inadvertently excluded from Aurora’s christening, curses the princess and announces that she will die on her sixteenth birthday. Thanks to the good fairy Lilac, the malevolent spell is broken: the princess remains alive but falls into a 100-year sleep that can only be broken by a prince’s kiss.

This adaptation cleverly highlights the contrast between good and evil, while offering a nuanced psychological portrait of the character Carabosse. Elaborate costumes and grandiose sets meticulously bring the fairy tale's magic to life, revealing the enchanting choreographic poetry in a captivating manner.
