The Independent:

“Beautiful hand-painted sets and exquisitely rich costumes enhanced the performance of the classical choreography.”
“The principal dancer who played Aurora showed herself to be up to the task, with incredibly strong balance and a gracious presentation.”
“The most dynamic performance was that of the male lead who played the evil fairy Carabosse – as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West!”
