Matthew Buorne`s Sleping beauty transports you into a world of magical fairies and vampires, where the timeless tale of good vs evil is turned upside-down, creating a supernatural love story that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Will Princess Aurora ever find her true love again?With an unforgettable score by Tchaikovsky, sumptuous sets and costumes, evocative lighting and masterly storytelling, the beloved fairy tale is brought to life by the New Adventures company.
The UK tour opens at the Theatre Royal Plymouth on Saturday 12 November 2022 ahead of a seven-week Christmas season at Sadler’s Wells, London with further tour dates for 2023 to be announced shortly.
Matthew Bourne’s “SLEEPING BEAUTY” reawakens in 2022, celebrating 10 years since its premiere at Sadlers Wells, when it became the fastest selling production in the company’s history.
