The Sleeping Beauty
Спящая красавица
One of the most famous, beautiful and solemn classical ballets, and, what rarely happens, with a happy ending. The genius of Tchaikovsky and Petipa turned Perrault's fairy tale into a real hymn to love that can bring back from eternal sleep.
At the Bolshoi Theater, the ballet is being performed in the version by Yuri Grigorovich, and since 2024 with the unrivaled set design and costumes by Simon Virsaladze, Grigorovich's regular co-author at the Bolshoi.

The main thing is that the fairy tale has a happy ending: the princess finds her happiness; the evil, albeit incredibly charismatic fairy is punished, and the most beloved fairy tale characters dance at the wedding.
