Royal Ballet Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton�s Cinderella celebrates its 75th anniversary this Season. The ballet�s opening night in 1948, featuring Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles, was received rapturously. After over a decade away from the Royal Opera House stage, Ashton�s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault�s famous rags-to-riches story returns, showcasing the choreographer�s deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev�s transcendent score. A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella�s ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love.
