- SUNDAY TELEGRAPH on Beauty and the Beast
Searching the country to salvage his lost fortune, a once-wealthy merchant seeks shelter in a mysterious castle, where invisible forces tend to his every need. The merchant’s older daughters have demanded gifts of gold, jewels and fine clothes; the youngest, Belle, has asked for a single rose.
But when the merchant plucks just one bloom from the garden of the castle he unleashes a fearsome Beast, who exacts a terrible forfeit: in return for the merchant’s life, he must send his daughter Belle to live in the castle. As the dazzlingly beautiful Belle prepares to meet her beastly captor, she is about to discover for herself the meaning of true love.
Created by Birmingham Royal Ballet’s director, David Bintley, and recently back from a sell-out tour of Japan, this classic fairytale now comes to Sadler's Wells with its story of passion and prejudice.
