On purely musical merits, The Sleeping Beauty, with its symphonic compositional style, stands as one of Tchaikovsky's greatest achievements for the dance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePetipa's choreography for The Sleeping Beauty provides many highlights, including the entrance of Aurora, the ensuing Rose Adagio, the great Vision Scene, the Bluebird pas de deux, and the final Grand pas de deux. For the ballerina, Petipa created an essentially lyrical choreographic style that showcases purity and classical line. Margot Fonteyn, celebrated as one of the most lyrical of dancers, gives a perfect performance in this treasured television presentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTelecast \u0026amp; Technical Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProducers' Showcase telecast date: December 12, 1955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuntime: 66 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal presentation: USA, 1955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDVD release \/ Packaging copyright: 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 4:3, Black \u0026amp; White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAudio: Mono\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegion: All regions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCredits\u003cbr\u003eCover photograph by Maurice Seymour, courtesy of Roger Gross.\u003cbr\u003ePackaging and DVD authoring © 2004 Video Artists International, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Video Artists International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51132396699926,"sku":"130180","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/202632012467449scan_59cf2ae1-7083-43b9-8655-ce12c1534d35.jpg?v=1774394710","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/tchaikovskys-the-sleeping-beauty-2","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
