The ballet would be based on Charles Perrault's fairy tale "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood". Tchaikovsky was very happy this story had been chosen. It was set in the age of Louis XIV. He would have the chance to write music in the Baroque style.
Together, the Prince and the Lilac Fairy's magic defeat the evil Carabosse. The Prince awakens Aurora with a kiss and the spell is broken. The whole kingdom celebrates the wedding of Prince Désiré and Princess Aurora.
