Sleeping Beauty, Production - Jihočeské divadlo

P. I. Tchaikovsky

Ballet fairy-tale en pointe

Premiere 24. 7. 2019

Transformed into a new dance production, this beautiful fairy-tale will delight not only little spectators, but also their parents and all adherents of the classical ballet en pointe. The soloists of the South Bohemian Theatre appear in this version of The Sleeping Beauty along with the members of the Bohemia Ballet and the students of the Dance Conservatory of the Capital City of Prague. The costumes and the stage design are created by one of the leading Czech theatre designers, Josef Jelínek, and the performance is choreographed by Jaroslav Slavický, the director of the Dance Conservatory of the Capital City of Prague and the artistic director of the Bohemia Ballet.

The Sleeping Beauty ballet (also known as Little Briar Rose) has long been part of the “golden treasure” of the 19th century classical ballet legacy. It was premiered on the stage of the imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1890. The ballet was composed on impulse by the director of the imperial theatres, I. A. Vsevolozhsky, who wrote the libretto on Charles Perrault’s fairy-tale. The close cooperation between composer P. I. Tchaikovsky and choreographer Marius Petipa gave rise to a production whose first performance excited both the audience and the expert critics.

It was an amazing experience for me and my wife. We were also surprised that some Japanese actor and actresses played a central part. We wish we can visit the stage someday again. Thank you.

I’m pleased to say that the production of Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Sleeping Beauty with the enchanting Princess from Japan is a beautiful jewel set in the Bellaria Pavilion and spreading out all over the park.

A special ending to our holiday was the visit to the Revolving Auditorium in Český Krumlov for the ballet performance The Sleeping Beauty. The amazing spectacle delighted not only our children, but also us adults. Hats are off to the great performances of all the dancers. We were thrilled by the evil fairy performed by the soloist Zdeněk Mládek. BRAVO!!
