    NCM Fathom and Emerging Pictures are bringing world-class ballet to the big screen with a LIVE performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty to movie theaters nationwide. Broadcast LIVE from Moscow’s renowned Bolshoi Ballet, The Sleeping Beauty will be shown in select movie theaters on Sunday, November 20 at 9:00 a.m. CT,  with a special additional performance on Tuesday, November 22 at 6:30 p.m. local time. This magical event will mark the debut of David Hallberg on the Bolshoi stage – the first American dancer in history to join the Bolshoi as a principal dancer.

    At the christening Princess Aurora, the evil fairy Carabosse throws a terrible curse upon her: on her 16th birthday she will prick her finger and die. The Lilac Fairy lessens the curse: Aurora will sleep deeply for a hundred years but be awakened by a prince’s kiss. When the fateful birthday arrives, Aurora accidentally pricks her finger, faints and dies. The evil spell is mitigated with one that puts all in the kingdom asleep for a hundred years. A century passes and while hunting, Prince Désiré sees a vision of Aurora summoned by the Lilac Fairy. He kisses Aurora, breaking the evil spell. Aurora and all the people of the kingdom awake. A wedding celebration marked by music and dances performed by famous fairy-tale characters concludes The Sleeping Beauty.

    Created for the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg, The Sleeping Beauty premiered in January 1890, and quickly became a huge success around the world. Choreographed by Marius Petipa,” The Sleeping Beauty” emerged as his masterpiece, with the ballet’s brilliant soloist steps among the most accomplished pieces in the classical repertoire. This new (1973) choreographic version is from Yuri Grigorovich and stars Svetlana Zakharova as Princess Aurora and, as Prince Désiré, international ballet sensation David Hallberg in his debut performance with the Bolshoi.
