- **Event Description**: To celebrate the summer, we return to a much-loved Royal New Zealand Ballet production from 2011: Greg Horsman’s fairytale version of The Sleeping Beauty.

The age-old story of the princess who pricks her finger and falls into an enchanted sleep, only to be wakened by true love, is brought to life in picture-perfect designs by Gary Harris, classical choreography and Tchaikovsky’s magical music. A touch of wizardry from Wellington’s Wētā Workshop adds to the joy and wonder, making this the perfect pre-Christmas treat for audiences of all ages.

2011 saw the premiere of this glorious production, with the making of the ballet immortalised, reality television-style, in the second series of The Secret Lives of Dancers. More than 42,000 people saw the production around New Zealand. Choreographer Greg Horsman left the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2012 to take up a new role at Queensland Ballet, and this production has now been staged there several times to great acclaim.
