A new dance-inspired production of Rossini's sparkling comedy performed by an exciting international cast.
A much-loved fairy tale, but not quite as you know it. Cinderella scrubs the floor of a dance school and dreams of a better life. A prince arrives seeking a companion and so this sparkling romcom is set in motion.
Cinderella’s stepfather Don Magnifico and the Prince’s servant Dandini are marvellous comic creations. Cinderella herself emerges as a true romantic heroine whose transformation is achieved through the power of music.
An evening of pure magic is in store, uniting the fun, fire and brilliance of Rossini’s music with a fresh and witty production.
Sung in Italian with English titles
