French author (b. 12 January 1628 [N.S.] in Paris; d. 16 May 1703 [N.S.] in Paris).
Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Perrault
Tchaikovsky's ballet The Sleeping Beauty, Op. 66 (1888-89), was based on Perrault's story La belle au bois dormant, from the collection Histoires et contes du temps passé (1697). Perrault's version was itself a retelling of the Italian story Sun, Moon, and Talia (Sole, Luna, e Talia) published in 1634 by Giambattista Basile (1566-1632).
Tchaikovsky told Nadezhda von Meck on 8/20 January 1889 that "The subject of the ballet that I am writing was devised by the Director of the theatre, Vsevolozhsky himself. It is based on Perrault's well-known fairy tale La belle au bois dormant. The subject is extremely likeable and poetic" [1].
