Until now, the world-famous story simply sparked associations with the ballet by P. I. Tchaikovsky. Now, due to the efforts of the composer I. Rogalev, director A. Maksimychev and Artist T.Melnikova, a new genre solution has been found for the well-known fairy-tale. Thanks to the vocal and recitative, a ballade as the most characteristic genre of the Middle Ages has become the main means of expression. “Sleeping Beauty” in the staging of the Puppet Theatre is a play for children who think that they are already grownups and for adults who understand that essentially they are still children.
