Choreographer Cristiano Principato and Artistic Director Sandler Sellin have created a unique concept that brings together dancers from the main European ballet companies. The international company will present a full-length ballet based on the fairy tale, following the realisation of a new production of Cinderella.
The ballet Cinderella, based on the fairy tale by Charles Perrault, has become one of the most celebrated and loved works in the ballet world. The production tells the story of Cinderella, a young girl of pure and good soul, who lives trapped in her daily chores by an evil stepmother and false sisters. But one special day, thanks to the spell of her Fairy Godmother, she finds herself at a royal ball where she meets a handsome prince and they form a magical bond.
The ballet Cinderella is renowned for its spectacular choreography, romantic and comic scenes, and stunning costumes. Sergei Prokofiev's music inspiringly captures the emotion and atmosphere of the fairy tale, making Cinderella an unforgettable performance that lures audiences with its beauty and magic and touches hearts.
The show is characterised by a distinctly classical choreography, paying tribute to the impressive legacy Petipa has bequeathed to our generation, and the light neoclassicism that characterises every stage work by choreographer Cristiano Principato.
A story of love and fairy-tale transformations captivates audiences of all ages and reminds us of the power of good in our world - good things always happen to good people.
