Cinderella State Ballet Theatre of Russia January 15, 2009

Eisenhower Auditorium

Cinderella dances onto the stage when the State Ballet Theatre of Russia performs a production of the fairy tale set to Prokofiev’s jubilant music. Choreographed by Vladimir Vasiliev, a former star of the Bolshoi Ballet, Cinderella animates the yarn about a girl forced to serve her wicked stepmother and stepsisters until a fairy rewards her kindness by giving her a chance to attend a ball, meet a prince, and live happily ever after. The company, established in 1961, first toured North America two seasons ago. Among its fifty-four dancers are distinguished Russian artists and winners of international ballet competitions.

Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders.
