Cinderella grows up between a cruel stepmother and two jealous stepsisters, doing menial chores and holding on to quiet dreams. When her fairy godmother appears, her life changes and she enters a world where anything is possible.
The production was warmly received at its 2023 premiere and now returns. Choreographer Jayne Smeulders draws on both the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault versions, set to Prokofiev's score, and blends magic, humour and emotion.
Enchanted sets and sparkling costumes create a luminous world meant for audiences of all ages. Performances run from February 24 to 28, 2027 at 8 p.m.
