Video Description

Welcome to an ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love. Welcome to an optimistic realm of giddy dreams and rewards for kindness in London’s Royal Ballet’s dazzling production of Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella. Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov star as Cinderella and the Prince in Ashton’s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches story, a showcase for the deft musicality of the Company’s Founding Choreographer and the beauty of Prokofiev’s transcendent score.
