Cinderella

Work:: Cinderella (S586)

The classic fairy tale. Prokofiev's music was written during the Blitz. Cinderella's life with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters is one of drudgery and hardship until the evening of an extravagant party at the palace. With the help of her Fairy Godmother, she's the centre of attention when she arrives at the ball in a magical coach, wearing a gorgeous gown.

Music

Prokofiev

Production:: (T581589546)

The classic story returns in an imaginative re-telling. Like Prokofiev's score the story takes us from darkness to light and focuses on Cinderella's journey through her grief at the loss of her mother. A young Cinderella plants a rose at her mother's graveside and from this the magic grows and her journey towards happiness begins. Cinderella's future seems bleak after her father remarries; her wicked stepmother is intent on favouring Cinderella's two nasty step-sisters over the kind and beautiful Cinderella. The course of true love never does run smooth, but just like the rose Cinderella planted at her mother's graveside, romance blossoms when she finally meets her prince.
