A new version of the fairytale classic Cinderella created in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s 20th anniversary year.

Neglected and mistreated by her stepmother and sisters, Cinderella’s life is one of drudgery and hardship until the evening of a wonderful ball at the palace when her Fairy Godmother appears to cast a spell that will change her life forever. Transformed into a beautiful princess, Cinderella dances the night away in the arms of a handsome prince, before the clock chimes midnight and brings a sudden end to the party.

Birmingham Royal Ballet’s Director David Bintley choreographs this spellbinding new production, which receives its London premiere at the London Coliseum. John Macfarlane, designer of The Nutcracker and the Company’s recent Le Baiser de la fée conjures up a magical world to bring this much loved fairytale to life.
