Birmingham Royal Ballet will bring Sir Peter Wright’s sumptuous staging of The Sleeping Beauty to the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton from February 8 to 10.

The acclaimed Royal Ballet Sinfonia will perform Tchaikovsky’s glorious score live, with designs by Philip Prowse and lighting design by Mark Jonathan.

Sir Peter Wright said: “This has always been the most opulent of ballets, but Philip Prowse’s incredible design created a unique fairy tale world – with almost 30 fairy character tutus alone – that allows dancers to really inhabit some of classical ballet’s most famous roles.”
