Moscow City Ballet

Moscow City Ballet returns to the Festival Theatre with two stunning ballets, each presented in classic Russian style with full orchestra. The ballet has marked the new year at the Theatre for over a decade – and is an unmissable climax to the festive season.

The enchanting and romantic story of The Sleeping Beauty inspired Tchaikovsky to write some of his most glorious music, and the ballet has captivated audiences for well over a century. Featuring the delicate Princess Aurora, her gallant Prince, wicked Carabosse, the beautiful Lilac Fairy and a host of fairy-tale characters, this truly magical production showcases the company’s exquisite dramatic and lyrical talents.
