He also wrote the music for the ballet Sleeping Beauty, which Disney later adapted for an animated musical in 1959, as well as the 1812 Overture, one of the most-played pieces of classical music in history.Though Russia, in its ongoing effort to erase all things LGBTQ+, has gone to great lengths to deny it, biographers widely agree that Tchaikovsky was gay or bisexual.
