My first Aurora

[dnznqueen]

Hello all! I am doing my first full-length Aurora...and I love reading all the inside tidbits of info, like lilacs representing wisdom, what variations were added when, etc. Is there a book or one thread on here where all of this info is located? I have several different versions on DVD and VHS- sadly I'm kind of having to do a lot of self-coaching and teaching.

I'm not sure about on here, as this is only my second post, but Wikipedia is quite useful as it has a list of the score in the original format and lists variations that are usually omitted.

Here's an oldie from our original Ballet Alert! site about the original production, and its creative intents:
