In Charles Perrault's fairy tale, there is the French charm of powdered wigs and blooming spring, the obligatory victory of Good over Evil and the triumph of all-conquering Love.
The performance is accompanied by the Orpheus Radio Symphony Orchestra. Artistic director and chief conductor - Sergei KONDRASHEV.
Duration: up to 2 hours 40 minutes (with intermission).
The christening of Princess Aurora is celebrated in the palace of King Florestan. Master of Ceremonies Catalabut checks the list of invitations sent to the fairies and guests.
Everything is ready for the opening of the holiday.
Sounds of trumpets. The King and Queen greet the crowd. The nurses bring in the cradle with the newborn Princess Aurora. Catalabute announces the arrival of sorceresses - good fairies.
The Lilac Fairy, Princess Aurora's chief godmother, appears. She is surrounded by fairies and pages. Fairies give gifts to the newborn. Thanks to these gifts, the princess will be beautiful and gentle, playful and carefree, generous and brave. The Lilac Fairy approaches the cradle to bring her gift.
There is a noise. This is the arrival of the powerful and evil fairy Carabosse. Catalabute is in despair, how could he have made such a terrible mistake, forgetting to send an invitation to Fairy Carabosse. The King and Queen are worried: a mistake could lead to many misfortunes in the fate of their child.
Carabosse appears accompanied by an ugly retinue. In vain the King and Queen ask the terrible old woman for forgiveness. She decided to take revenge. Carabosse tears out tufts of hair from Catalabutte’s head and pronounces his verdict on Aurora: “Yes, she will be the most beautiful, the most seductive and feminine, the smartest of all the princesses in the world. But, having pricked herself with a spindle, she will fall asleep, and her sleep will be eternal.” The King, Queen and the entire court are shocked.
The Lilac Fairy reassures everyone, because she has not yet had time to bring her gift: she has the last word: Aurora will fall asleep, as Fairy Carabosse wished, but not forever. The day will come when the young prince, enchanted by her beauty, will give her a kiss, awaken her from a long sleep, and Aurora will become his wife.
ACT ONE
Princess Aurora's coming of age is celebrated in the park of King Florestan's palace. While preparing for the holiday, Katalabut notices village women amusing themselves with knitting. He orders the guards to arrest them. After all, spindles, needles and knitting needles are items prohibited by decree of the King.
The King and Queen appear in the park, accompanied by courtiers and four princes, contenders for the hand of Princess Aurora. Frightened villagers beg for mercy. Catalabute announces the reason for the arrest and shows evidence. King Florestan is angry, he orders the execution of the villagers and Catalabut for violating his decree. Courtiers and princes ask that the culprits be spared in honor of the holiday. The king is adamant. And only the Queen’s prayers touch the King’s heart. Those pardoned are released from custody.
Aurora appears. The four princes are amazed by the beauty of the Princess. The King and Queen persuade their daughter to choose a groom. Aurora dances merrily with the suitors, but does not choose anyone - she is still so young.
Suddenly, in the crowd, Aurora notices an old woman beating time with a spindle. The old woman gives her the spindle and Aurora begins to dance with it. Suddenly the dance is interrupted, the princess looks in horror at her hand, which she pricked with a spindle, and falls dead.
The old woman throws off her cloak and everyone recognizes the fairy Carabosse. With a devilish laugh she disappears.
The Lilac Fairy appears and consoles the parents; their daughter will sleep for a hundred years, but so that nothing changes for her happiness, everyone will fall asleep with her. The sleeping princess is carried into the palace, and everyone falls asleep.
ACT TWO
One day, Prince Désiré is hunting in the forest. On the lawn, his entourage entertains him with dancing. Desiree is left alone in anticipation of important events in life. A mother-of-pearl boat floats along the river.
The Lilac fairy comes ashore from it. With a wave of the Fairy's magic wand, a vision of the sleeping Aurora appears. The rays of the setting sun illuminate it with pink light. Prince Désiré falls in love with a vision of young Aurora and is ready to follow the Lilac Fairy. The vision disappears, but the image of a young beauty remains in the Prince’s soul.
The prince throws himself at the fairy's feet and begs her to show the way to Aurora. The sorceress leads him to her boat, which immediately sets off.
Night falls, the moon illuminates the boat, the Lilac Fairy and the Prince, who is striving for Aurora, with a silvery light.
Sleeping Beauty Castle. Princess Aurora sleeps on a four-poster bed. She has a dream: Prince Charming comes to wake her up and she falls in love with this prince...
The Lilac Fairy and Prince Désiré are approaching the castle. Carabosse and her retinue guard Princess Aurora's sleep, but nothing can stop the Prince in his desire to be close to the Princess. Prince Désiré runs up to the sleeping Aurora and kisses her. The evil Carabosse's spell disappears: Princess Aurora wakes up, and with her the whole court. Dust and cobwebs clear, candles illuminate the room. The Prince begs the King to give him his daughter as his wife. The king joins the hands of the young people.
ACT THREE
