One of the most important works in the company’s 75-year history, Rudolf Nureyev’s The Sleeping Beauty was first performed by The National Ballet of Canada in 1972. A pinnacle in the classical canon, this signature ballet helped define the company’s international reputation.
Rudolf Nureyev put The National Ballet of Canada on the world stage in 1972 with his celebrated version of Marius Petipa’s The Sleeping Beauty . Opulent and exacting, it launched an unprecedented era of international touring and acclaim for the young company. Set to Tchaikovsky’s luminous score, this jewel of the repertoire continues to shape artists today, its exquisite choreography spanning the fairy variations of the Prologue to Princess Aurora’s famous Rose Adagio, the effervescent Bluebird pas de deux and the grand finale.
