The Sleeping Beauty (Russian: Спящая красавица / "Spyashchaya krasavitsa") is a ballet in a prologue and three acts, first performed in 1890.  The music was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (his opus 66).  The score was completed in 1889, and is the second of his three ballets.  The original scenario was conceived by Ivan Vsevolozhsky, and is based on Charles Perrault's "La Belle au bois dormant".  The choreographer of the original production was Marius Petipa. <SEP>  He first appeared in "Scriabiniana" as "Garland" in 1962 and four next year played in "Sleeping Beauty" as "Prince". Lagunov was born on July 2, 1942 in Moscow, Russia.  In 1962 he graduated from the Moscow State Choreographic Academy where his teacher was Aleksey Yermolayev, and same year joined Bolshoi Ballet.  In 1966 he played as one of the shepherd boys in "the Nutcracker" and five years later appeared as "Archon" in "Icarus".  In 1972 he participated in the "Swan Lake" where he played a role of "Evil genius" and the same year played a role as a "dance teacher" in "Cinderella".  Three years later he appeared as "Albrecht" in "Giselle" and by 1976 played a role of "black man" in "Mozart and Salieri".  The same year he was named "Merited Artist of the Russian Federation" and also appeared as "Don Juan" in "Love for Love".  In 1979 he graduated from the Russian University of Theatre Arts and retired as a dancer in 1983.  Since 1996 he teaches such future ballet dancers as Mikhail Lobukhin and Vladislav Lantratov. <SEP> Titon et l'Aurore (English: "Tithonus and Aurora") is an opera in three acts and a prologue by the French composer Jean-Joseph de Mondonville which was first performed at the Académie royale de musique, Paris on 9 January 1753.  The authorship of the libretto has been subject to debate; Mondonville's contemporaries ascribed the prologue to Antoine Houdar de la Motte and the three acts of the opera to the Abbé de La Marre.  "Titon et l'Aurore" belongs to the genre known as the "pastorale héroïque".  The work played an important role in the so-called Querelle des Bouffons, a dispute over the relative merits of the French and Italian operatic traditions which dominated the intellectual life of Paris in the early 1750s.  The tremendous success of Mondonville's opera at its premiere was an important victory for the French camp (although their Italian rivals claimed that this was because they had been excluded from their seats by members of the army).  "Titon" was one of Mondonville's most popular works and went on to enjoy several revivals during his lifetime. <SEP> The 1917 Petipa/Ivanov/Drigo revival of Swan Lake is a famous version of the ballet "Swan Lake", (ru. " Лебединое Озеро"), (fr.  "Le Lac des Cygnes").  This is a ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky based on an ancient German legend, presented in either four acts, four scenes (primarily outside Russia and Eastern Europe), three acts, four scenes (primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe) or, more rarely, in two acts, four scenes.  Originally choreographed by Julius Reisinger to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (opus 20), it was first presented as "The Lake of the Swans" by the Ballet of the Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre on 20 February/4 March 1877 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates) in Moscow, Russia.  Although the ballet is presented in many different versions, most ballet companies today base their stagings both choreographically and musically on this revival by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, staged for the Imperial Ballet, first presented on 15 January/27 January 1895, at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia instead of the original version.
