The Sleeping Beauty

In a glittering palace where wealth and peace abound, a king and queen hide a deep sorrow: they have no child of their own. Their longing draws the attention of an unexpected visitor, a talking frog who appears in the queen’s bath and promises that the wish of her heart will soon be fulfilled. When spring returns, the almond tree blossoms pink and the queen indeed gives birth to a radiant daughter, Briar‑Rose, whose arrival brings celebration throughout the realm.

The newborn’s gentle smile captivates courtiers and common folk alike, and the kingdom erupts in music, flags, and feasts to honor the miracle. Yet amid the joy, whispers of old curses and hidden dangers begin to stir, hinting that the princess’s beauty may attract forces beyond the palace walls. Listeners are invited to follow her early days, where love, intrigue, and the first shadows of destiny intertwine.
