DESCRIPTION:May 28 - Jun 7\, 2026\nThe Sleeping Beauty has always been a pe
 riod piece. Indeed\, the Petipa–Tchaikovsky spectacular imagines ballet 
 itself as period—a single period\, stretching into eternity—which is a
 bout how most people think of the art form. Boston Ballet does not break t
 he spell. The otherwise hip company offers The Sleeping Beauty’s most en
 during staging\, by Nikolai Sergeyev\, who fled Russia as it turned Soviet
 \, stuffing into his suitcase the notations of almost two dozen classical 
 ballets. Sergeyev fleshed out many of these works for what eventually beca
 me the Royal Ballet. From its homely beginnings as the Vic-Wells\, the tro
 upe became Royal after it performed The Sleeping Beauty in 1946\, with the
  gracious and ebullient Margot Fonteyn embodying England’s dawn after it
 s long\, dark night of war. The story ballet may make light of history\, b
 ut its own carries weight. Nevertheless\, it serves as perfect summer ente
 rtainment: a fairy variety show\, then a dream ballet and ballroom defilé
 \, for sundry moods\, speeds\, and sentiments\, to some of the most beauti
 ful ballet music ever composed.
