Ballet for the Whole Family With My First Ballet: Cinderella
Sponsored Content
Presented by English National Ballet and English National Ballet School, here’s why you should take your little ones to My First Ballet’s production of Cinderella.
Introduce your children to the magic of live ballet with this sparkling production of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella, adapted for children aged 3 and above and performed as part of the My First Ballet series.
Tormented by her jealous stepsisters, Cinderella longs to escape her daily drudgery and attend the ball at the royal palace. When magic is set afoot, she is transformed into a glittering princess, but the spell will only last until midnight. Cinderella’s beauty is the toast of the ball, and her kindness and hopeful nature soon win the heart of the Prince.
However, as the classic story goes, at the strike of the midnight, Cinderella must flee, leaving behind only a sparkling glass slipper.
With a live narrator, glittering costumes and beautiful choreography, this production of Cinderella tells everyone’s favourite rags to riches story, to a specially shortened version of Prokofiev’s music.
