My First Sleeping Beauty Overview

The My First... ballets by English National Ballet in partnership with English National Ballet School bring you your first taste of the fantastical, magical, make-believe world of ballet.

My First Sleeping Beauty is an enchanted world of castles and curses, forests and fairies, adapted especially for the whole family by choreographer Matthew Hart. Tchaikovsky's gorgeous waltz-filled music includes the tune made famous as Once upon a Dream in Disney's version.

**** '... it kept a theatre full of sweetie-crunching tots enthralled.'
The Guardian on The Sleeping Beauty

'... accessible, entertaining, fun and genuinely touching.'
