Product Description:

The Het Muziektheater in Amsterdam provides a fitting setting for this rendition of Tchaikovsky's THE SLEEPING BEAUTY. Shot in 2004, the Dutch National Ballet interprets the moves under the watchful tutelage of choreographer Sir Peter Wright, while the music is provided by the Holland Symfonia. The piece is regarded as being among the most difficult in the pantheon of classical music, so it's a testament to the abilities of all involved in this production that it is pulled off with such consummate ease.

Product Description:

Tchaikovsky and Petipa's timeless ballet- acknowledged as the most pure and demanding piece in the classic romantic repertoire - is a stunning example of the sparkling virtuosity of Petipa's rich dance vocabulary. Recorded at Het Muziektheater in Amsterdam with Het Nationale Ballet (The Dutch National Ballet) in 2003, this version was created in 1981 by the English choreographer Sir Peter Wright, whose sensitive staging closely reflects Marius Petipa's original work. In 1989 the ballet was adapted for Het Muziektheater's larger stage. Philip Prowse's ravishing Baroque sets and costumes add the glamour and grandeur essential to a ballet intended for the court of the Russian Tsar.
