Fairy tale of a beautiful princess who slept for a hundred years until she was awakened by a prince's kiss.

A bird dancing, an ox on a roof, flowers doing a waltz, a swan twirling about, what world is this? This is the magical world of ballet. The stage is full of people in colorful costumes, but nobody speaks. All the stories are told by music and dancing. Composers have written such exciting pieces for ballet, and this collection features some of the best.
