The Russian National Ballet Theatre has focused on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia.

Among a repertory of virtually all of the great full works of Petipa, Sleeping Beauty is often considered the finest achievement of the classical ballet.  A baby princess, condemned at her christening by an evil fairy to prick her finger and die on her 16th birthday, is saved by the gift of the good Lilac Fairy, who declares the princess will only sleep until awakened by the kiss of a prince.  The fairy tale, complete with a king and queen, fairies both good and evil, a beautiful princess and dream prince, magical stage effects, and courtly splendor lends itself perfectly to a full evening of ballet.
