But thanks to the glimmering Lilac Fairy, the curse is softened. Instead of dying, Aurora and her kingdom fall into a deep, century-long slumber, waiting for the true love's kiss of Prince Désiré to awaken them.

The Sofia City Ballet’s "Sleeping Beauty" is a true gift for both adults and children, who wish to be immersed in the beauty of graceful lines and the enchantment of classical ballet.
