Guided and safeguarded by the gifts of the Fairies, the Princess matures into a radiant young woman.

Instead, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep until a handsome Prince comes to awaken her with a kiss. The benevolent Lilac Fairy proclaims that Aurora will prick her finger, but she will not die. Enraged at not receiving an invitation from the royal family, the wicked Fairy Carabosse takes revenge on the kingdom by invoking a curse: on her sixteenth birthday, Princess Aurora will prick her finger on a spindle and die. The most powerful fairy of all, the Lilac Fairy promises to love and watch over the young Princess over the course of her life. At her christening, the Fairies of Fervor, Charity, Felicity, and Valor present the baby Aurora with gifts and blessings.

The Sleeping Beauty tells the tale of the beautiful Princess Aurora, the long-awaited child of King Florestan and his Queen.
