The Boston Ballet did a wonderful job with Sleeping Beauty. The sets, costumes and music were amazing. The prince on our night was a little rough at the start but was dancing very well by the last act. Also Parents, please remind your children eat their snacks during the intermissions. We had some children in back of us who had to open, eat, and spill M&Ms during the third act.Written on May 04 2009
In terms of story ballets, I thought Cinderella this season was better overall compared to Sleeping Beauty. But the clearly the top piece so far this season was Black & White which was utterly brilliant. We'll see if Ballets Russes can top it in two weeks! (Either way, the Ballet will be performing Black & White again at the end of next season - May 2010. Catch it if you missed it this season!)
Lastly this is the last season of the Ballet to be hosted at the Wang. They will be moving to the Opera House starting in September.

Quotes & Highlights
- "The most luminous performance of ‘Beauty’ I’ve seen the company give in its 41-year history." --The Boston Globe
Description
Music: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Choreography: Marius Petipa
Additional Choreography: Sir Frederick Ashton
Production: Ninette de Valois (after Nicholas Sergeyev's 1939 production)
Set and Costume Design: David Walker
Derived from the Mother Goose tale by Charles Perrault, The Sleeping Beauty has been enchanting audiences of all ages for over a century. It's the magical fairy tale of good, evil, true love, and a spellbound princess who sleeps for 100 years and is awakened by the kiss of a handsome prince.
But more than the tale of a princess, a spell and a kiss, The Sleeping Beauty is a tour de force of classical dancing, with brilliant solo choreography and ensemble pageantry. Nissinen introduced this version of the ballet, set to Tchaikovsky's brilliant score, in 2005. He has re-united David Walker's sets and costumes with this version of the ballet, which originated with The Royal Ballet.
