The much-loved Royal Ballet fairy-tale classic celebrates its 75th anniversary with a brand new production.
On opening night in 1948, Royal Ballet Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella, featuring Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles, was received rapturously. After over a decade away from the stage of the Royal Opera House, Ashton’s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches story returns, showcasing the choreographer’s deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev’s transcendent score. A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella’s ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love.
