Cinderella

Cinderella is washed up alone in a Stockholm port. She is immediately taken to an orphanage where she ends up at the bottom of the pecking order. A little mouse, a cook and a kind night watchman become her friends. When the dull jury of the big dance contest rejects Cinderella at her first audition because her style is too bold and explosive, she gets help from her friends. Cinderella must qualify! But will she make it to the competition in time? And will she be reunited with her family? She misses them so much.

Sergei Prokofiev’s Cinderella was first performed by the Bolshoi ballet in 1945. This entirely new production was created especially for the Royal Swedish Ballet by Tamara Rojo, artistic director of the English National Ballet. The colourful costumes by fashion icon Christian Lacroix and the famous music by Prokofiev make for a vibrant evening of dance for the whole family. Suitable from the age of 7.
