The ultimate fairy tale ballet
For the first time in almost 50 years, Sir Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella returns.
Based on the beloved tale by Charles Perrault, Cinderella is the story of a kind young woman who rewrites her destiny. Reimagined and restaged thanks to the generous support of The Australian Ballet’s community, the legacy of the original production lives on through updated production elements.
New sets by Richard Roberts light up the stage alongside Kristian Fredrikson’s glittering costumes, lovingly recreated from the original designs. Set to Sergei Prokofiev’s tender score, Cinderella features exquisite variations and distinctive geometric sequences for the corps de ballet alongside some of the most intimate pas deux in ballet. An unmissable fairy tale, be swept away by the magic of Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella.
