Rudolf Nureyev both choreographed and starred in this magical,
lavish production of the full-length ballet. After many years of
wanting a child, a King and Queen finally are blessed with a baby
girl they name Aurora. The joyful parents invite all the fairies to
the christening and ask them to bestow good wishes on the new
princess. But they have overlooked one fairy: Carabosse -- and
she's in a rage over the slight. Nothing will calm her, and she
vows that when Aurora is 16, she'll prick her finger on a spindle
and die. Only the intervention of the good Lilac Fairy can save the
princess. But she hasn't the power to erase Carabosse's evil spell
completely. Instead, the Lilac Fairy decrees that Princess Aurora
and her court will fall asleep for 100 years... when a prince will
awaken her with a kiss. Nureyev's legendary, Emmy-winning
performance of Tchaikovsky's ballet is performed with the National
Ballet of Canada.
