Summary
Discussion of the Boston Ballet's 1996 production of The sleeping beauty, staged by Anna Marie Holmes after Marius Petipa and Konstantin Sergeev. Parts of the discussion refer to Holmes's first staging of the ballet for the company in 1993. Holmes summarizes her own experience in the role of Princess Aurora, gives a synopsis of the ballet, and describes how her staging differs from Petipa's original. Philip Jordan and Amy Persky Gross describe the company's purchase and refurbishing of the scenery, costumes and wigs designed by David Walker for the Royal Ballet's 1977 production. Video excerpts recorded on location depict the Boston Ballet's costume shop ; its wig room (with Paula Kelly as guide) ; views of dancer Caroline Llorca donning the makeup and wig for the role of Carabosse ; interviews with ballerinas Adriana Suárez and Pollyana Ribeiro, both of whom danced Aurora, and scenes of both dancers in studio rehearsals of the Rose adagio ; performance footage of Suárez in Princess Florine's variation from the Bluebird pas de deux, and Ribeiro as Aurora in the vision scene.
