Step into the world of Cinderella where this entrancing fairy tale comes to life in a new, fully-staged production! The story unfolds in a swirl of sumptuous spectacle, magnificent music and breathtaking choreography as we travel to a faraway land where a handsome prince searches for the beautiful owner of a dainty crystal slipper.
Every child’s favourite fairy tale, this is the classic story of love and innocence, mystery and magic set to Tchaikovsky’s sublime score. Stunning choreography, sumptuous costumes and wonderful sets form the fantasy world in which the Lilac Fairy struggles against the evil Carabosse.
The greatest romantic ballet of all! This is an immortal love story filled with magic, emotion and beauty. From the opulence and splendour of the magnificent court room to the exhilarating lake scenes where swans play in perfect formation, Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful music creates a truly unforgettable experience.
In a magical production, this most famous of fantasy ballets begins as night falls on a traditional fireside scene on Christmas Eve. On the stroke of midnight we are transported to an enchanting world where nothing is as it seems, as toy dolls come to life and an army of soldiers does battle with a gang of mice and a Nutcracker is transformed into a handsome prince.
Thanks to the work of award-winning stage designer Dmitri Tcherbadzhi, this adaptation is visually vibrant and choreography-wise it is almost cartoon-like, appealing to children and adults alike.
