A great fairytale ballet

This ballet is based on Grimm Brothers fairytale. However it is not 100% exact: the original ballet scennario includes th Puss in Boots and a lot of other fairytale characters you definitely know. Mariinsky theatre is a mother of this ballet, but Mikhailovsky theatre is known for better costumes and stage decorations so it is a bit more spectacular in Mikhailovsky. But wherever you go remember that Russian classic ballet is a lifetime experience, and ‘The Sleeping Beaty’ is one of the best ballets ever written and staged here.
