Award-winning choreographer, David Bintley, creates his own stunning new Cinderella fairy story, with an unsettIing edge of darkness, reflecting Prokofiev's searing score.
Designer John Macfarlane conjures up a magical worId, transforming the cold grey kitchen into a dreamlike fantasy, alI magical and shimmering. The gIittering coach, gleaming with frost, is brought on by mice and lizards. The baIl scene is a feast of swirling decadence, and CindereIla vanishes at the stroke of midnight through the whirring mechanism of a simply amazing clock. But the show is made truly heartwarming through the vision of Cinderella's suffering being transformed into deserved joy as she meets her Prince and Iives happily ever after.
"This CindereIIa is a theatricaI banquet for the eyes."
"ln ballet terms, this is a good CindereIIa; as theatre, it is sensationaI." |
