In the eyes of the managers and core dancers of the troupe, perfect performance is more important than anything else. So that after the murder of the troupe, the dancers still insist on training in the training room just a few steps away from the murder scene every day; Tian, the artistic director of the troupe, was killed in the audience of the performance theater on the afternoon of the performance, which failed to stop the actors from rehearsing and the evening performance.
Although the plot of the novel has exaggerated elements, we can still get a glimpse of the charm of the ballet industry. The last ballet in which the heroine Asaoka did not appear was called Sleeping Beauty. Out of curiosity, I found the premiere video of Sleeping Beauty in Moscow Grand Theatre on the Internet.

The classical ballet Sleeping Beauty was created by Russian music master Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky and famous ballet choreographer Petipa. Its script is based on the famous French fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" in17th century. The play is known as/kloc-the encyclopedia of classical ballet in the 9th century. This ballet is also a milestone in the history of Russian ballet, deeply affecting the Russian nation and people who like ballet in the world.
There are many classic dance fragments in Sleeping Beauty, such as Adagio Rose and Wedding Duet in the first act, Bluebird Duet, wreath waltz and so on. Some dance clips have always been compulsory programs in international ballet competitions, especially the male variations of Bluebird. In The Bluebird for Two, Variations on the Bluebird, arranged by Pitipa, is the most technically difficult of all the men's solo dances written by Pitipa, especially in the jumping height and two groups of 24 agile kicks, which fully shows the combination of actor's strength and technology.

The music of Sleeping Beauty is equally wonderful, and its composer is Russian composer Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky. Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky himself spoke highly of this work. In a letter to his good friend Nadezhda von Meek, he said, "I seem to think this ballet music is my best creation. The theme is so poetic and musical that I write it with great enthusiasm, and a valuable musical work depends on this enthusiasm. " Sleeping Beauty has a strong sense of music rhythm. The music when the fairies offered their blessings to the princess was warm and full of hope; After the appearance of the evil fairy, the music style changed suddenly, and with the actors' actions, it added a bit of funny feeling to the play, which made people laugh. After the princess got married, the music that everyone danced together was soothing and relaxing.
Besides, Sleeping Beauty is also famous for its luxurious costumes, props, scenery and lighting. The version of the Moscow Grand Theatre pays great attention to dance beauty and costume design. The costumes are fine in workmanship, and the patterns echo the roles played by the actors, which complement the whole music and dance and show luxury.

Although Sleeping Beauty is a classic representative of "classical ballet", through modern packaging and interpretation, this somewhat sedate ballet has added a gorgeous modern atmosphere. Vividly expressed the victory of light over darkness, the victory of justice over evil and the praise of faithful love, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The strength and stagnation of the actors are amazing, and the elegant behavior of the actresses makes people fantasize. After the performance, the rhythm of audience applause changed from chaos to neatness, and the applause echoed throughout the theater for a long time. The dancer took several curtain calls to thank the audience. In such an exquisite performance, the audience and actors achieved each other, which contributed to the success and perfection of the performance.
The beautiful ballet culture does not seem to match the fierce folk customs of the "fighting nation", but it is this contrast that makes Russian art and Russian culture unique and breeds works of art that only Russians can perfectly interpret.
