Ten years since its spectacular premiere, David McAllister’s opulent production, The Sleeping Beauty, returns to whisk you away into a magical realm of fairies and spells, good versus evil and a royal romance.

The gilded set stands alongside over 300 bespoke costumes, wigs and fairy wings, designed by the award-winning Gabriela Tylesova. Be transported to the splendour of fairyland’s royal court with David McAllister’s classical masterpiece, The Sleeping Beauty.
