Showing from the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow is Sleeping Beauty, a timeless fairytale and a truly classic ballet. Showing exclusively at the Eden Cinemas on Friday 27th December at 16:00, the spectacular repertoire was first choreographed by Marius Petipa in 1890 and then revived by Yuri Grigorovich back in 2011. With music by Tchaikovsky, the stunning masterpiece is sure to delight the entire family as well as dance enthusiasts who are able to appreciate the technicalities of such choreography.
