Once upon a time, a beautiful princess is cursed to sleep deeply for a hundred years until awakened by a prince’s kiss. Renowned international ballet dancer and choreographer Vladimir Malakhov (HKB’s La Bayadère) weaves a powerful tale of good triumphing over evil as Princess Aurora and Prince Desiré overcome the evil fairy Carabosse with the help of the good Lilac Fairy. Considered the most perfect classical ballet ever created, The Sleeping Beauty is best known for its glorious Tchaikovsky score and intricate choreography, which requires intense precision, strength and stamina.

The Sleeping Beauty

In one of Brandenburg's romantic concert settings, we devote ourselves to the "images of nature in music". Under the direction of Robert Reimer, we play Richard Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, Beethoven's "Pastorale" that sings of nature, and Siegfried Matthus' timpani concerto "In the Forest" in the Chorin Monastery, which is nestled between a lake and a forest. Our guest soloist is Jakob Eschenburg. Born in Potsdam, he has been principal timpanist with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2014.
