Two dancers are in the foreground looking at each other with a much larger figure in the background towering over them. The background is a blended blue and green at the top of the image. The image fades to black at the bottom. Surrounding the two dancers in the foreground is a glowing gold light with spots and streams of light surrounding the centre of the image. This gold is reflected onto the towering figure’s face. The two dancers in the foreground are towards the right of the image and are playing the characters of the Prince and Sleeping Beauty. The dancer playing the Prince has brown, short hair, is wearing white, fitted tights, white ballet flats and a cream jacket with gold detailing. He is on the left of the couple, kneeling one knee, looking up at Sleeping Beauty, with arms extended, holding her waist. The dancer playing Sleeping Beauty has dark hair in a bun, is wearing a white tutu with silver detailing, a sequinned top, sparkling tiara and is on pointe on her right leg, with her left leg extended pointing directly upwards. The figure in the background is playing Carabosse, she is positioned to the right of the foreground dancers, and is looking down at them. The dancer playing Carabosse has black hair with a silver headpiece, is wearing a gothic black dress with sequinned detailing and has black eye-makeup and red lipstick. Carabosse has her left arm clutching at her chest, a ring with large, red gemstone is on her middle finger, her right arm is extended towards the upper left and a dramatic black sleeve drapes towards the floor.

About The Sleeping Beauty

The treat of a lifetime...

Birmingham Post

The Sleeping Beauty has been delighting audiences for well over a hundred years, sprinkling ballet magic on this favourite childhood story and its cast of familiar characters. And all wrapped up with sparkling virtuoso dance from BRB's brilliant dancers, fairy-tale characters, dazzling spectacle, and Tchaikovsky's glorious music played live by the acclaimed Royal Ballet Sinfonia.

BRB's beautiful production was created by Sir Peter Wright, the genius behind the Company’s famous TheNutcracker and Swan Lake.

An enchanting experience for all the family. Book early to secure the best seats!
