MATTHEW BOURNE’S SLEEPING BEAUTY: magic, terror and, of course, beauty
Taking the beloved tale back to its Gothic roots, Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty brings together magic and terror in a spellbinding production.

While Cardiff Castle's Spiegeltent seems like the perfect venue to experience a Christmas favourite, this particular venue and show combination left much to be desired.
Ballet Cymru’s Dream – a balletic adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream – bills itself as an exciting and innovative contemporary ballet.
You don’t go to a Matthew Bourne show to see a traditional interpretation of a classical ballet and his Nutcracker! is no different.
Though the story of The Nutcracker - now on at St. David's Hall, Cardiff - is slight, this ballet is eternally endearing.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the Siberian Ballet at St David’s Hall, and their opener, Cinderella, is truly marvellous.
