A magical fairy tale ballet!
The romantic fairy tale of Cinderella is one of the most lively and beautiful ballet compositions.
The libretto is based on a well-known and beloved fairy tale, depicting the romantic love of a hardworking and good maid and a prince, her budding love, the challenges along the way, and the fulfillment of a dream.
Cinderella is demeaned and tortured as a maid by the wicked stepmother and the selfish stepsisters. Hard work and cruel words accompany the kind-hearted and selfless girl through her daily life. Her deepest wish to dance at the royal ball is granted by a good fairy. In a beautiful dress, unrecognized yet admired by all, she enchants the court and especially the prince. The twelfth toll of the bell ends this magic, and in a hurry, Cinderella leaves the ball. In her flight, she loses her dance shoe, allowing the lovestruck prince to search for and find his chosen one.
In its imaginative staging, the ballet ensemble from Naples brings the ancient legend to life with new brilliant colors. While maintaining a genuinely conservative approach to classical ballet, the performance is modern – thanks to the innovative set design and perfectly crafted costumes. Masterfully, the language of classical dance, with its fluidity, is combined with the expressions of modern dance.
The best classical ballet training of the dancers is noticeable from the very first scenes, as well as the set and costumes, which highlight the legendary beauty of one of the world's beloved fairy tales.
A true ballet delight for young and old!
