Christopher Hampson's reinvented version of his own original Cinderella, Cinders!, is a triumph of theatre, whether the central character is danced by a man or a woman.

Clearly on a mission to prove that today’s dance world comprises many styles that feed into and refresh each other, Scottish Ballet starts as it means to go on.

It’s back with the same team, slightly tweaked here and there and with a new generation of dancers taking on those iconic roles. What took them so long?
