  • Sublimely executed. This is a truly special ballet, lovingly staged through the attention to the quality in the movement, as well as costuming, lighting, and prop and stage design. A magical evening.

Ballet in three acts (1948)

Encore screenings! This enchanting ballet by The Royal Ballet’s Founding Choreographer Frederick Ashton is a theatrical experience for all the family that transports audiences into an ethereal world where a sprinkling of fairy dust makes dreams come true.

Stuck at home and put to work by her spoiled Step-Sisters, life for Cinderella (Fumi Kaneko) is dreary and dull is dreary and dull. Everything changes when she helps a mysterious woman out...With a little bit of magic, she is transported into an ethereal new world – one where fairies bring the gifts of the seasons, where pumpkins turn into carriages, and where true love with the prince (William Bracewell) awaits.

Hobart patrons please note: This production will screen at State Cinema at the regular screening times of 11am Sat and 1pm Wed. Tickets on sale soon!
