The Sleeping Beauty is a ballet in a prologue 序幕 and three acts, first performed in the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in 1890. The music was by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and is the second of his three ballets. The choreographer of the original production was Marius Petipa (马里乌斯·彼季帕)
Victor Marius Alphonse Petipa (1818 — 1910) was a French ballet dancer, teacher and choreographer.
Petipa is considered to be the most influential ballet master and choreographer of ballet that has ever lived.
The Imperial Theatres (the Mariinsky Theatre) had been his home for fifty-six years.
The three Petipa / Tchaikovsky masterpieces: The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and Swan Lake considered by many to be the greatest ballets of all time show classical ballet at its best. After a lifetime of ballet Marius Petipa came to be known as "the father of Russian ballet".
The sleeping beauty has become one of the classical repertoire保留剧目's most famous ballets.
Prologue
King Florestan the XXIVth declares a grand christening洗礼仪式ceremony to be held in honor of the birth of his daughter, Princess Aurora named after the dawn. Six fairies are invited to the Christening to be godmothers to the child. They are the Fairies of Strength, Brightness, and Beauty, along with the queen of the fairies, the Lilac丁香 Fairy.
As the fairies are happily granting gifts of honesty, grace, prosperity, song and generosity, they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the wicked fairy Carabosse, who is furious at the King's failure to invite her to the ceremony.
With spite 敌意 and rage, Carabosse declares her curse on Princess Aurora: she will prick刺, 戳 her finger on her sixteenth birthday and die. But the Lilac Fairy, fortunately, has not yet granted her gift to the Princess. She cannot completely reverse the curse 逆转诅咒. However, she declares, though the Princess shall indeed prick her finger, she will not die, but instead sleep for 100 years until she is awakened by the kiss of a prince.
Act I It is Princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday. Celebrations are already underway: the atmosphere is festive喜庆的, 欢乐的. The evil curse is forgotten. As the court is lost in the happiness of the scene, Aurora is presented with a spindle 纺锤 as a gift from a disguised Carabosse—an object which she has never before seen. Carelessly, she dances with it despite her mother and father's warnings before accidentally pricking herself. She faints.
To the horror of all, Carabosse immediately reveals her true wicked self triumphantly, vanishing from the scene. All are left in grief and horror until the benevolent 仁慈的 Lilac Fairy appear . She reminds the remaining guests and the King and Queen of her gift—Aurora will not die, but merely sleep. She then casts a spell 符咒 of slumber睡眠 upon the entire kingdom so that they will only awake when Aurora does.
Act II One hundred years later, Prince Florimund
(in the original production, it is Désiré) is at a hunting party with his companions. Handsome and brave, the prince has everything but love. He is not happy. His loneliness touches the spirit of the Lilac Fairy. She offers him a vision of Aurora and he is entranced着迷 by her beauty. The Prince discovers the castle, which is now overgrown长满 in thick vines藤蔓.
His first act is to defeat Carabosse. Once past her and inside the castle, the Prince finds Aurora and awakens her with a kiss. The entire kingdom awakes with her. The Prince then declares his love for Aurora and proposes to her. The King and the Queen are happy to give their blessings.
