Royal
Ballet Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella celebrates
its 75th anniversary this Season. The ballet’s opening night in
1948, featuring Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles, was received
rapturously. After over a decade away from the Royal Opera House stage,
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.
