Malakhov's Sleeping Beauty. Escapades with the Berlin State Ballet

Nureyev referred to "Sleeping Beauty" as the "ballet of ballets." In 2005, Vladimir Malakhov choreographed a lavish new production for the Staatsballett Berlin, capturing a historic collaboration. Monika Rittershaus's unique photo book documents this process, blending personal insights with glamorous ballet photography, complemented by texts from Christiane Theobald and Frank Sistenich.
