Collaborating with The Met to Awaken “Sleeping Beauties” with AI

Once upon a time, a King and Queen longed for a child. Their wish was granted when a baby girl named Talia was born. Seven wise fairies graced her christening, each bestowing a magical gift—reason, beauty, grace, music, dance, and more. But an evil fairy, uninvited, cursed Talia: on her seventeenth birthday, she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep slumber, only to be awakened by true love’s kiss. The King banned spinning wheels, but curiosity led Talia to discover one. She pricked her finger, and the curse took hold. She slept for a hundred years until a prince’s kiss broke the spell, and they lived happily ever.
