With its lavish costumes, fairy-tale scenery and an unforgettable score, The Sleeping Beauty continues to cast a spell on Canadian audiences! It is one of the most beloved ballets of all time — a repertoire staple that demands nothing short of technical brilliance and grace from every principal dancer and soloist who performs it. The Sleeping Beauty is a captivating classic with a rich history, and it is poised to dance its way into your collection with this precious ballet keepsake.
The reverse design by artist Tony Bianco is an artistic interpretation of the storybook ballet, The Sleeping Beauty. The vertical image of a ballerina performing the role of Princess Aurora is backed by a fairy-tale pattern of roses and leaves, which are struck incuse. Selective colour highlights the roses and the ballerina’s ornate costume. The reverse includes the engraved words “CANADA” and the bilingual title of the ballet, “LA BELLE AU BOIS DORMANT THE SLEEPING BEAUTY”. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
