Count Lilac

A couple days ago I went with my sister and a friend to see Matthew Bourne's production of Sleeping Beauty, the ballet. It was amazing, and the costumes and back drops were incredible. This was my favourite character, the "good" fairy, or Count Lilac, who defends and helps the prince in his mission to break the spell on Princess Aurora.

To keep the prince alive during Aurora's 100 years' sleep, he turns the prince into a vampire!

Here's a link to the show's trailer, if you fancy seeing what I mean - www.youtube.com/watch?v=VikwwO…

I'd not been to an actual ballet before. But I've found that in the last year or so I've gained more of an interest. I particularly like Matthew Bourne, because he stages the dances in such interesting ways.
