Thanks for posting this! I just happened to be on livejournal for the first time in many months & was looking at one of your stories, then found this review. I didn't know about this production but it sounded fascinating. Lo and behold, it's being performed in my area this week only, so my friend and I are going next weekend! I wouldn't have know about it without your blog.
Love the gothic romance & Merchant Ivory inspirations!
"Matthew Bourne was standing in the bedroom of Tchaikovsky's home outside Moscow two years ago when he decided it was finally time to tackle 'Sleeping Beauty.'
'It had a single bed and a very ordinary wooden table, looking out the window at birch trees. There was something so simple about it, and yet this is where all this wonderful music came from.'"
