Royal Opera House: The Sleeping Beauty
The Sleeping Elegance holds an unique place in The Royal Dancing's repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company resumed the Royal Concert hall in 1946 after The Second World War, its very first production at its new home in Covent Yard. Margot Fonteyn danced the duty of the lovely Princess Aurora in the sneak preview, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revitalized by then Supervisor of The Royal Ballet Monica Mason and also Christopher Newton, returning Oliver Messel's remarkable designs as well as flashing outfits to the stage.
