Sleeping Beauty - Slyashaya krasavitsa; The Sleeping Beauty

Japanese: 眠れる森の美女 - ねむれるもりのびじょ(英語表記)Slyashaya krasavitsa; The Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty - Slyashaya krasavitsa; The Sleeping Beauty
A ballet consisting of a prologue and three acts and four scenes. The libretto was written by Marius Petipa and Ivan Vsevolozhsky, based on a fairy tale by Charles Perrault. Music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Choreography by Petipa. Set by Vsevolozhsky. It premiered in St. Petersburg in 1890. It is a lavish spectacle ballet with many dancers and devices, and is one of Petipa's greatest masterpieces. A revised version by Bronislava Nijinska was performed by the Ballets Russes in 1921, and was well received, but it was too expensive to produce and did not become part of the repertoire. Although it has been said to be a difficult piece to perform since then, the Petipa version was revived by Nikolai Sergeyev with the Sadler's Wells Ballet in 1939, and it has been performed repeatedly with various choreographies to this day. The full version was first performed in Japan in 1952 by the Komaki Ballet.

序章と3幕4場からなるバレエ。シャルル・ペローによる童話をもとに,マリウス・プティパとイワン・フセボロジスキーが台本を書いた。音楽ピョートル・チャイコフスキー。振り付けプティパ。装置フセボロジスキー。 1890年サンクトペテルブルグで初演。多数の踊り手と仕掛け装置を駆使した豪華なスペクタクル・バレエで,プティパの最高傑作の一つ。 1921年ブロニスラワ・ニジンスカの改訂版がバレエ・リュスにより上演され,これも好評を得たが,制作費がかかりすぎたためレパートリーとはならなかった。以来上演の難しい作品といわれながらも,1939年ニコライ・セルゲーエフによりサドラーズ・ウェルズ・バレエ団でプティパ版が復活上演されるなど,今日にいたるまでさまざまな振り付けで繰り返し上演されている。日本での全幕初演は 1952年小牧バレエ団による。
