I was treated to a night at the ballet, reading the write up on the European touring ballet, I was impressed and very much looking forward to a visual and classical music treat
however the truth was it was quiet a let down the dancing was slack, out of time and lifeless, the costumes
tired, washed out and shabby. There was a general lack of dramatics and no energy.
I am gutted I can't be more positive about my experience but I am sorry to say I would not recommend.
The Write up stated...
Highly-acclaimed classical touring company European Ballet presents this most enchanting ballet in three acts set to Tchaikovsky’s glorious score.
Based on Charles Perrault’s fairy story, the ballet tells the story of beautiful Princess Aurora, who is bound by wicked fairy Carabosse’s spell to sleep for 100 years and can only be awoken by the kiss of a handsome prince. This beautiful production is enhanced by colourful sets and over 45 beautiful handcrafted costumes, and is ideal for all ages.
Under the direction of Stanislav Tchassov, former Principal dancer of The Bolshoi Ballet, this exciting and dynamic company of first-class dancers from across Europe and further a field has endeared itself to audiences and critics alike for its commitment to excellent artistic standards and for the dedication and energy of its talented dancers.
Music by Piotr I. Tchaikovsky
Choreography by Marius Petipa
Staged and adapted by Stanislav Tchassov
