These exclusive performances feature exceptional dancers, including soloists and artists from the Bolshoi Theatre, all trained at the most prestigious Russian ballet academies. Even if life feels unfair — never stop dreaming. In the magical world of classical ballet, dreams really do come true. Cinderella is one of the most beloved fairytales in history, and its timeless charm makes it a perfect ballet. With its colorful characters, dazzling balls, dramatic transformations, and a heartfelt battle between good and evil, this enchanting story comes vividly to life on stage. Set to Sergei Prokofiev’s brilliant and poetic score, Cinderella becomes a feast of classical dance and storytelling. The composer, inspired by the universal tale of the girl with the lost slipper, wrote the ballet for the legendary Galina Ulanova, aiming to express “the poetic love between Cinderella and the Prince… the birth and blossoming of a feeling, its obstacles, and the fulfillment of a dream.” Premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1945, Cinderella quickly became a symbol of post-war hope and artistic triumph. Today, it continues to charm audiences around the world through countless interpretations by renowned choreographers — from Frederick Ashton’s witty London version to Rudolf Nureyev’s glamorous Paris staging. Join us for Cinderella, and be swept away by exquisite choreography, touching emotion, and the artistry of some of the finest ballet dancers in the world. | |||||
