On Friday 24 October acclaimed dance company Moscow Ballet La Classique will be returning to the Epsom Playhouse with their latest production, Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty.
In a faraway land beyond imagination, Tchaikovsky's sumptuous music fills the air and wondrous characters come to life before your very eyes. Fairytale characters abound alongside a King, a Queen, Good and Evil Fairies, Fairies of Gold, Silver, Diamonds and Sapphire plus the inevitable handsome Prince, all weaving their magic to present this timeless tale of Princess Aurora, The Sleeping Beauty - a story lovingly repeated throughout generations but never before performed so magnificently as with this colourful spectacle of Russia's finest company Moscow Ballet - La Classique.
As the traditional Russian story goes, it is a prick from a knitting needle hidden in flowers by the wicked fairy Carabose that sends Princess Aurora into her 100 year sleep. Rescued by the kiss of her Prince, the beautiful Aurora and her legend live on once more.
Relive the fairytale dream in this universally acclaimed production. The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly Classical Ballet, an area in which Russian dancers (aided by some of the world's greatest choreographers) have reigned supreme since the 1820s.
Tickets are £16-25 and are on sale now and can be booked at: www.epsomplayhouse.co.uk or by ringing the Box Office on 01372 742555/742227.
