An intricately crafted fairytale playset from the creators of The Nutcracker Ballet Box. All the favourite scenes from Tchaikovsky's much-loved ballet come to life in this spectacular theatre playset. Open the curtains, unfold the stage and insert the CD to begin the show. The enclosed book takes readers through the magical story and tells them all they need to know, from music cues and staging tips to character profiles and fascinating facts about the history of the ballet. With a handy drawer in which to keep the scenery and dancing figures, this is the perfect gift for budding ballerinas.
This beautiful ballet theatre is a joy for children. It evokes all the magic of the fairytale world, and the ray of sunshine I felt within me when I danced the part of Princess Aurora. * Irina Boronova, Prima Ballerina *
A shamelessly pink confection in which a girl can listen to a dainty Tchaikovsky CD and direct a ballet against exquisitve scenery and backdrops. A lovely, decorous present. * The Observer *
A well crafted product that will provide many hours of imaginative play. * Families Magazine *
This beautiful box set (it’s an understatement to call it simply a book) folds out to create an entire theatre – complete with changeable backdrops and slot-in figurines – enabling the re-enactment of Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty. The storybook itself comes with a CD of the ballet music, and there are lovely finishing touches, such as a piano score of the famous waltz. * Junior Education *
