Sleeping Beauty: A Gothic Romance [Blu-ray]

В новой постановке "Спящая Красавица" от Борна чувствуются "вампирские мотивы". Действие разворачивается в 1890 году - именно тогда состоялась премьера "Спящей красавицы" в Санкт-Петербурге. По ходу постановки главная героиня Аврора окажется в "более строгой" эдвардианской эпохе, проснется же она в нынешнее время.

Matthew Bourne choreographs this version of Tchaikovsky's ballet performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre. Bourne sets the first part of the story in 1890, the year in which Tchaikovsky completed his version of Charles Perrault's classic fairy tale, with Beauty pricking herself on the poisoned rose in 1911 and awakening 100 years later in the contemporary world.

'Sleeping Beauty' sees Bourne return to the music of Tchaikovsky to complete the trio of masterworks that started with 'Nutcracker!' and the international hit 'Swan Lake'. The story begins in 1890 at the christening of Princess Aurora, a time when fairies and vampires fed the imagination, before moving forward in time to the modern day. A sumptuous, gothic fairytale with a twist on the classic story, this production will appeal to the younger ‘Twilight’ generation as well as traditional dance fans who will enjoy the masterful choreography and the trademark wit expected from Matthew Bourne.
