Ballet in one prologue and two acts by Christian Spuck...The royal couple's desire to have children has long gone unfulfilled. Their unanswered prayers have pushed the pair to the extreme. They travel to the realm of the fairies – where babies wait to be brought to their future families - and steal Aurora, a little girl entrusted to the care of the fairy Carabosse. At the court, the preparations for little Aurora's christening are in full swing. Everyone - from the host of servants to the governess and the master of ceremonies - has their hands full, readying the castle for the arrival of a multitude of illustrious guests. Among them will be six fairies, who will present the little princess with their good wishes. Just as the glittering celebration is reaching its climax, Carabosse appears. She had, wisely, not been among those invited. She punishes the royal couple for their act by placing a curse on Aurora: in the bloom of her youth, the princess will prick herself on a spinning wheel and die. The other fairies try to drive Carabosse away from the celebration.
