About Cinderella

For the first time in almost 50 years, Sir Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella returns to enchant audiences in a dazzling major revival.

The first company outside of London’s Royal Ballet to perform Ashton’s Cinderella, the production holds a special place in the history of The Australian Ballet.

The classic story of a kind, young woman who rises above the mistreatment from her cruel stepsisters to ultimately rewrite her destiny, is an uplifting tale of romance and magic.

Sergei Prokofiev’s tender score makes for some of the most intimate pas de deux in ballet as Cinderella and the Prince dance their way into true love.

Ashton’s talent for creating romantic choreography is juxtaposed against his unique flair for comedy. The wicked stepsisters will delight with their comedic portrayal of the selfish and vain villains in roles that were famously played by Ashton himself and The Australian Ballet’s former Artistic Director, Sir Robert Helpmann.

New storybook sets by Richard Roberts fill the stage and Kristian Fredrikson’s glittering costumes, lovingly recreated from the original designs sparkle long after the curtain has fallen. Featuring exquisite variations and distinctive geometric sequences for the corps de ballet, Cinderella is an unmissable fairytale for audiences of all ages.
