The Sleeping Beauty Video (D4070)

DVD Only - $29.99
Starring: Aurelie Dupont, Manuel Legris, Vincent Cordier, Nathalie Quernet. Conductor: David Coleman.  Choreographer: Rudolf Nureyev. Composer: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

The Sleeping Beauty remains, as Rudolf Nureyev often called it, the ‘ballet of ballets'. It is the most accomplished and the most brilliant, as well as one of the most spectacular of the 19th century, and the most representative of the ‘noble' style of classical dancing. Rudolf Nureyev's version, which he created for the Opera Ballet in 1989, was recorded at the Opéra Bastille in 1999, in a new production (sets and costumes) created by his faithful collaborators, Ezio Frigerio and Franca Squarciapino, who had already produced Swan Lake, Romeo and Juliet and La Bayadère.
