Sir Peter Wright Centenary: Sleeping Beauty photo gallery

In honour of Sir Peter Wright and the upcoming performance dedicated to him, Sir Peter Wright Centenary, we’re taking a closer look at his signature productions, performed by leading ballet companies worldwide. Here, we look at The Sleeping Beauty, which joined the then Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet's repertory in 1984 (first performances, Birmingham Hippodrome), having been created for Dutch National Ballet in 1981.
