Ballet by Piotr Tchaikovsky in a new choreography by Christian Spuck and performed by the Ballett Zürich - retransmission from the Zurich Opera House. The performance, prepared by the Zurich Opera Ballet troupe, is the work of eminent German choreographer Christian Spuck, a long-time director of the troupe. Six fairies were invited to Princess Aurora’s christening, and together, they will in turn gift her all of the good traits she might need. But the evil fairy Carabosse was not invited, and she gets her revenge with a curse: Aurora will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. The good fairy Fliederfee cannot undo the evil fairy’s curse, but she can weaken it. And when a grown-up Aurora does prick her finger, she and all of the castle’s inhabitants fall into a hundred-year sleep, from which only a prince can awaken her.
