Ben Stevenson's The Sleeping Beauty. In celebration of his 80th birthday, Houston Ballet revived Artistic Director Emeritus Ben Stevensonâs spectacular staging of The Sleeping Beauty for the 2015/16 Season. The Sleeping Beauty launched Stevensonâs career as a choreographer in London in 1967. The ballet is based on the classic French fairytale by Charles Perrault: a beautiful princess is cursed by an evil fairy, and doomed to sleep for a hundred years--only to be awakened by the kiss of the handsome prince who loves her.
