Valery Gergiev comes to the Proms with music from his native Russia - music with more than a whiff of the greasepaint that brings out the best in this charismatic maestro.
The Sleeping Beauty is one of Tchaikovsky's most delicate and melodically rich ballet scores - a perennial favourite that tells the story of a handsome prince awakening a beautiful princess, Aurora, thereby breaking the spell of the wicked fairy Carabosse.
- Tchaikovsky The Sleeping Beauty (c177 mins)
