Summary:

75 years after it first lit up London's Royal Ballet, Sir Frederick Ashton's classic 1948 choreography for Prokofiev's Cinderella returns to Covent Garden in a glorious frenzy of shapes and colors, taffetas and tulles, with an astonishing cast — including Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov — bringing the fairy tale to colorful life! The story of Cinderella has inspired countless writers, artists, composers, and choreographers over the centuries, and this comic ballet is one of the most memorable adaptations. In Ashton's reimagining, the stepsisters' grotesqueness is counterbalanced by the infinite grace of the title character (an exquisite Marianela Nuñez) and the charm of the Prince (Vadim Muntagirov). Gorgeous costumes by Alexandra Byrne enhance and round out the kaleidoscoping magic of this remarkable anniversary performane. © Tristram Kenton.
