The Story

Part One: The Christening The Queen has arranged a splendid christening to celebrate the birth of her newborn daughter, the Princess Aurora. Trumpets sound and herald the arrival of the fairies. The Lilac Fairy, Godmother to the Princess Aurora, enters surrounded by her retinue of fairies, who bestow on the young princess the gifts of grace, joy, generosity, liveliness and intelligence.

Suddenly, a Lady in Waiting rushes in to announce the arrival of the powerful, evil fairy Carabosse. Carabosse was not invited to Aurora's christening, and she has come to seek her revenge. The fairies beg Carabosse not to harm their beloved Aurora, but she ignores them and proceeds to place an evil curse upon the baby. She tells how Aurora will grow up to be the most beautiful and enchanting of princesses, however, by her twenty-first birthday she will prick her finger with a spindle and die.

The Queen is horrified. Carabosse roars with laughter, reveling in her cruelty, but to her dismay the Lilac Fairy steps forward and tempers her curse. “Aurora will indeed prick her finger on a spindle,” the Lilac Fairy says, “but she will not die—instead, she will fall into a deep sleep.” The enraged Carabosse leaves, the Queen is relieved that the curse has been diminished and demands all spindles are banished from the kingdom.

Part Two: Aurora’s Birthday Aurora enters her party accompanied by her Ladies in Waiting. She is introduced to the people of the village who have come to celebrate with her. Suddenly, Aurora notices an old woman standing in the crowd, holding a spindle. She takes the spindle from the woman and begins to dance with it, but her dance ends abruptly when the spindle pricks her finger. Aurora suddenly collapses unconscious. The old woman throws off her cloak and reveals herself as the fairy Carabosse. She roars triumphantly that her curse has succeeded. At that moment, the Lilac Fairy appears to remind everyone that Aurora is not dead but asleep, and that she is destined to sleep for one hundred years. The Lilac Fairy casts a spell of sleep over the castle.

Part Three: Aurora’s Awaking Ball The Lilac Fairy and her attendants keep watch over the kingdom as everyone sleeps. As decades have passed, a Prince out exploring discovers the grounds through the overgrown thicket and vines. The Lilac Fairy leads him into the castle, where the Prince sees the sleeping Aurora. She tells him he can break the spell. Overwhelmed by her beauty, he rushes to her and kisses her. As the Princess gradually awakens, Carabosse’s spell is broken. The kingdom awakens and the Queen is overjoyed to see her Aurora again. The Queen is thankful to the Prince for breaking the spell and asks him to join them in a celebration.

The court assembles for the celebration with Princess Aurora and Prince Désiré. The invited guests include many fairy tale characters who present their stories as gifts to the Royals. After all have paid their respects, Aurora and Désiré dance a grand pas de deux. The whole kingdom rejoices and joins in a dance in their honor.

And they lived happily ever after.

Run time approximately 90 minutes, includes a 20 minute intermission, appropriate for most ages.
