Sleeping Beauty, Rose Adage Carla Fracci

SLEEPING BEAUTY Rose Adage, 1890, with Carla Fracci as Olga Spessitzeva. In 1987 a twopart television programme called The Ballerinas featured Carla Fracci, with some of the top male dancers of the period, in a series of reconstructions putting various ballets and their interpretors in an historical context. Fracci was an amazingly youthful 51 when she danced these extracts.
