Ballet in a Prologue and Three Acts
"...The virtues of Petipa’s great classic and the Royal Ballet’s wealth of gifted dancers still shine through. Viviana Durante, who replaces the injured Darcey Bussell, is outstanding as Aurora. Radiant and youthful, she dances with an ease and naturalness that is enchanting. She also takes astonishing risks, holding a difficult balance for an extra few seconds while maintaining immaculately clean lines." - Evening Standard
