SLEEPING BEAUTY

"On either side of the stage, rounded balconies with railings where Aurora's friends are seated and from where the princess ...will bend down to cheerfully greet the gathering before rushing to mingle with them. Simona Noja, becomes the innocence, naturalness, naive purity and bright candour of youth. During her evolution with the Adagio of the Rose, executed with great skill and poetry, she expresses a whole range of feelings, from the surprise of discovering suitors (in heavy frock coats and grey wigs!) whom she does not choose, to the affirmation of her own personality, through her aesthetically triumphant "attitudes" of balance ... Simona Noja and Giuseppe Picone are perfectly synchronised, convincing, both in unison, in a love duet ... Simona is all delicacy and grace, she convincingly communicates the depth of love and her happiness in a dance intensely supported by music. A grand finale in the general exuberance for the bride and groom's blessing. "
