Scottish Ballet presents

The Sleeping Beauty

Stunning sets and costumes, breathtaking choreography, Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous score and the phenomenally talented, passionate dancers of Scotland’s national dance company come together to create a spellbinding re-telling of treasured fairytale The Sleeping Beauty.

Our story begins once upon a time on a gorgeous summer afternoon in 1830, in a magical kingdom where mortals mix with the fairies of an enchanted forest. Liberally sprinkled with surprising twists and delicious wit, this magnificent version of the much loved story features Artistic Director Ashley Page’s spectacular choreography and international designer Antony McDonald’s lavish sets and costumes.

Complete with Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra, The Sleeping Beauty will be bringing a little magic to the winter months – don’t miss your chance to fall under its spell!
