Pictures from the Program

 This is the cover of the Program from the Ballet - very pretty.
 Pictures in the program - really like the real dancing - this  is the evil fairy that said Aurora would die on her 16th birthday - pricking her hand on the spindle...in the Santa Clara Elementary School version - Stan play one of the 'little evils' - and he did it very well!
 Beautiful dancing - so much talent and such hard work to perfect it!  The Lilac Fairy in the background was the only Fairy that hadn't given her gift - - and she changed the death to a 100 years sleep of the princess and the whole court.
 Another picture of beautiful dancing - so much better in person!
 The wedding scene - Queen and King on either side - long train!
 Painting of the 1862 presentation - 1862!
 Picture of some of the scenes from the 1890 presentation!!

 Programs from older editions - way older!  Eli and Isaac - is that French?  La Belle au bois dormant!
This one is German - in Hamburg!
