Sleeping Beauty
Tuesday 11th September 2012
This is an image from the pre-tour publicity for Matthew Bourne’s new ballet, Sleeping Beauty (not, note,
The Sleeping Beauty, as you are required to say of the ‘real’ ballets – tosh and poppycock).
I have never embraced the vampiric literature and film genres that have swept and appear to still be sweeping the nation, but I read that this new ballet will feature vampires amongst other creatures.
The way Matthew Bourne treats ballet just amazes and delights me. The vision and theatre, the daring and sheer energy – just stunning. His Cinderella is still the best ballet I have ever seen, traditional or modern.
I am beyond excited to be going to see this when it is released. And just look at the pictures! Imagine the knitting design inspiration this will yield!
