An acclaimed Russian ballet company is bringing its production of fairytale Sleeping Beauty to Epsom.

Moscow Ballet La Classique promises to enchant the audience with a "colourful spectacle" and "sumptuous music".

Russian composer Tchaikovsky composed the music for this classic ballet, which was first performed in 1890.

It tells the story of Princess Aurora who is sent into an enchanted sleep for 100 years and can only be awoken by a kiss from her prince.

Epsom Playhouse says: "Relive the fairytale dream in this universally acclaimed production.

"The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet, an area in which Russian dancers, aided by some of the world's greatest choreographers, have reigned supreme since the 1820s."
