Once upon a time …
You know the fairy tale, now feel the magic of Laurent Pelly’s whimsical production of the classic opera. After delighting crowds in New York and London, this acclaimed staging of Cinderella makes a grand Australian debut.
Massenet’s classic opera is full of sumptuous music, and this production adds humour with playful choreography and extravagant costumes. Barbara de Limburg’s extraordinary set is inspired by an original illustrated edition of the fairy tale, complete with fold-out balcony and paper-cut carriage.
Performed in English, this crowd-pleasing production is perfect for newcomers. Dust off your glass slippers and step into a land of enchantment and nostalgia.
