Matthew Bourne's interpretation of Sleeping Beauty played at Sadler's Wells. This production was a ballet with gothic with influences. It started in a Edwardian era setting and then processed to modern day after Aurora's 100 year sleep. This is the first ballet I have seen and it was quiet enjoyable. I liked the use of moving floors in order to make the movements more magical and too create the appearance of the dancers floating. I also liked the set and was surprised at how quick it could be changed.
Though I would have liked more visual costume, they was numerous garments I liked. I was also able to roughly identify the era it was set from the costumes. I liked the costumes worn by the fairies the most due to the embellishments and the wings that were attached.
