Official Event Listing
  • A sparkling spectacle. Prokofiev’s exquisite score is surely one of the greats in the classical ballet canon. The magnificence of this great company with its roster of excellent dancers could not fail to shine as always.
    Amanda Jennings, BACHTRACK
    An enchanting festive pleasure - swooningly romantic and rompingly comic, both magical and mysterious.
    David Jays, THE STANDARD
    Gorgeous. Grand and magical, a fairytale writ large and brought vividly to life.
    Debra Craine, THE TIMES
    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.
    Kathrina Farrugia-Kriel, GRAMILANO
    Real theatrical wonder. Does Ashton's ingenious choreography and Prokofiev's brittle but beautiful score justice. A lustrous evening's entertainment.
    Mark Monahan, THE TELEGRAPH

Ballet in three acts (1948)

This summer, be transported into an ethereal world where a sprinkling of fairy dust makes dreams come true. This enchanting ballet by The Royal Ballet’s Founding Choreographer Frederick Ashton is a theatrical experience for all the family.

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 awaits.
