Product Description

Product Description

Matthew Bourne choreographs this version of Tchaikovsky's ballet performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre. Bourne sets the first part of the story in 1890, the year in which Tchaikovsky completed his version of Charles Perrault's classic fairy tale, with Beauty pricking herself on the poisoned rose in 1911 and awakening 100 years later in the contemporary world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A different Beauty 19 Jan 2014
Amazon Verified Purchase
Having seen literally dozens of performances of this classic and having been delighted with the new production at the Mariinski, I awaited this production with interest. It is typical of Matthew Bourne to never fail to give an exciting new interpretation of a ballet which can almost be rather a bore when done by a small company and yet here were a mere seventeen dancers keeping us on the edges of our seats. Magnificent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different choice 30 Jan 2014

Matthew Bourne gave a lot of thought in deciding to bring the ballet up to the present day. I think you are either a Bourne lover but you can admire his interpretation. He has a wonderful sense of humour and I thought the opening scene of the ballet was brilliant. But I have to acknowledge being a tradtionalist and thought the final act lost out. The music was there but not all those wonderful characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matthew Bourne has triumphed again! 29 Jan 2014

This is a superb and interesting telling of Tchaikovsky's ballet. Having seen this production on stage,I was very keen to buy this DVD
This is a Gothic telling of the story,and very enjoyable.As in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake,he uses a great deal of Tchaikovsky's score.(In Swan Lake,he used more of the score than the Royal Ballet and,in Act 4 the Royal Ballet cuts part of the finale, which annoyed me and many others.) I strongly recommend this new DVD.
