Sleeping Beauty
Tony Walton's work for the American Ballet Theatre's 2007 production of Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by Kevin McKenzie (b. 1954), was a worthy successor to the magnificent original, which premiered at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1890. The sets for the 2007 production took full advantage of the great depth of the Metropolitan Opera House stage, which gave Walton an enormous expanse to fashion his magnificent sets. |
