David McAllister's opulent production was met with wide acclaim and sell-out seasons in 2015.The story of Princess Aurora is brought masterfully to life with dazzling set and costume designs by the internationally renowned theatre designer Gabriela Tylesova, and danced to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score.

"The company is decorative and elegant in their Tylesova splendour, but the story of this production is Guo and Kondo – and just how good these two dancers are"
