My favorite version of my favorite ballet. Don’t get me wrong, a well-executed Petipa can be a technical marvel to behold, but this has so much heart and personality-and lets Aurora be an active character in her own story from the very beginning! And Caradoc is such a good addition to the story, as a perfect Gothic villain: sinister, menacing, and just a tiny bit tragic (but not so much that you don’t want him to get what’s coming to him).
This made me laugh really hard because I'm thinking the same thing. I was a principal ballerina in the ballet company in my home town and I danced the part of Aurora many times. This just made me sad and angry and confused rofl.
@@elizabethmojica8995 I can understand your reaction: this is not Petipa. However, your feeling of "sad, angry and confused" means that on some level you, because you are a dancer, have understood some of what Bourne is saying; you are actually feeling what Aurora is going through. You might want to take a look at the complete ballet ruclips.net/video/ziGUJXb5a34/видео.html. While I love the traditional classical ballets, I think there is definitely room for a modern interpretation of the traditional, three-act narrative ballet as choreographed by Bourne. I was prepared to dislike his Sleeping Beauty, but instead I was mesmerized, drawn in and engrossed from start to finish.
@@elizzy8754 I did actually sit through the entire production after posting this comment and while the dancing is beautiful, I'm just not a big fan. Props to the dancers though, and to Bourne for his vision!
Oh My God Adam Maskell is gorgeous. He's just perfect. Hannah was my favourite Aurora, she had real acting abilities.
Thank you Adam I love this version of sleeping beauty

I prefered him to Leo
This is one of my favorite dance scenes. I just love to watch it. But this whole show is amazing. I wish I could see it live on stage one day!
I saw this six years in Edinburgh. If it ever comes back, I'll definitely see it again.
Do you have any other clips of Adam Maskell performing please, such as in The Nutcracker or Dorian Gray for example? Thank you.
That's not the Sleeping Beauty, that's bullshit.

your narrow mind is bullshit
@@elizabethmojica8995 perhaps rather than roll on the floor laughing, you can spend that time opening up your tiny mind.
