What could be more romantic than sleeping for a century and waking to your true love`s kiss? The world premiere of Kenneth MacMillan`s newly staged ”Sleeping Beauty” heads the bill when the American Ballet Theatre begins its annual visit to Chicago on Monday. Other offerings this season include Erik Bruhn`s full-length ”La Sylphide,” George Balanchine`s ”Theme and Variations” (with new costumes), and the Chicago premieres of Balanchine`s
”Violin Concerto,” David Gordon`s ”Murder,” Clark Tippet`s ”Enough Said” and Paul Taylor`s ”Sunset.”
