Editorial Review:
Description:
The Sleeping Beauty has been performed at many key moments in the Royal Ballet's history. To coincide with the Company's 75th Anniversary, Monica Mason and Christopher Newton created a new production based on the Sergeyev/De Valois/Messel production that was first performed by the company in 1946. Peter Farmer recreated and augmented Oliver Messel's designs adn Christopher Wheeldon choreographed a new Garland Dance for this production.

I thought a lot before I bought this production. I actually saw it live at the Kennedy Center during the summer before this was recorded and I was so disappointed. I had waited so long to see the Royal Ballet perform Sleeping Beauty live.
I ought to say here I'm one of probably a few who actually like the Anthony Dowell 1993 production. I think Viviana Durante was amazing and Dowell himself as Carabosse gave the performance of the ages. I wasn't that nuts about the scenery but thought ... Read More

I have always been a great fan of Alina Cojacaru. So right when this DVD came out I had to buy it. Alina and Frederico were great as Aurora and Prince Desiree. A perfect match and technique, beautiful and handsome, great as always. The Rose Adagio was just so charming and graceful. Everything was perfect except for one thing. The film was taken like you were sitting all the way in the back row and could not see their facial expression, which is important as well so that you can have the feeling of ... Read More

This is not a production for the ages but for the Royal Ballet, perhaps. Instead, check out the two best Sleeping Beauties--the 2006 Paris Opera Ballet DVD and the 2001 Kirov Ballet DVD (with Larissa Lezhnina as Aurora). The dancing and production values of the French and Russian versions are superlative in all respects. The choreography of this English version is abridged, slow, dignified, not well executed and, well, boring, with several dancers plain embarrassing (eg, the Bluebird duet). To see ... Read More

At the time of this writing, there are two other reviews of this performance of "The Sleeping Beauty." One reviewer divided her review into four sections: the production, the choreography, the dancers and the video quality. I won't repeat, or cover the same ground that she did, except for the fact that she did comment upon the fact that many previous recordings had been severely abridged. What was she thinking when she reviewed this DVD? Therefore, I would like to add a fifth category that was overlooked: ... Read More

This release of "Sleeping Beauty," a filmed performance by the Royal Ballet, was eagerly anticipated by myself after I watched the telecast. I think, all things considered, that this is the best Sleeping Beauty DVD on the market. Other videos might have finer individual performances (Margot Fonteyn, Yuri Soloviev, Alla Sizova) but those videos are all severely abridged versions of the ballet, and the video quality is not high. This "Sleeping Beauty" has a fine cast, great video quality, and an excellent production. ... Read More
