Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty from La Scala

The performance by the La Scala ballet company and its soloists Polina Semionova and Timofej Andrijashenko was received with jubilant enthusiasm.

Indeed, it was to La Scala in 1966 that Nureyev entrusted the debut of “his” Sleeping Beauty, and now, twelve years after its last performance, his masterpiece returns to the stage with the magnificent sets created by Oscar winner Franca Squarciapino at La Scala in 1993, and Felix Korobov conducting the extraordinary score by Tchaikovsky.
“Timofej Andrijashenko had a great debut with the Désiré of Nureyev. Polina Semionova was an amazing Aurora” (Strata Gemmi)
“A great production, a success thanks to a superlative and thrilling ballet company.” (LUUK)
