| Summary: | Choreographer Matthew Bourne returns to the music of Tchaikovsky to complete the trio of the composer's ballet masterworks. Bourne sets the Christening of Aurora, the story's heroine, in the year of the ballet's first performance: the height of the Fin de siecle period when fairies, vampires, and decadent opulence fed the gothic imagination. Years later, awakening from her century-long slumber, Aurora finds herself in the modern day; a world more mysterious and wonderful than any fairy story. |
