Cinderella - Prokofiev

This adaptation transports the story of Cinderella into a contemporary setting, while still honoring the essence of the original tale. The ballet showcases Cinderella as a victim of her family's cruelty, yearning for an escape from her oppressive life. Her chance encounter with a person in need leads to a transformative moment that alters her destiny.

Rudolf Nureyev's innovative choreography, combined with Petrika Ionesco's imaginative set design, creates a unique interpretation of a well-known story. The production features performances by prominent dancers including Agnès Letestu, José Martinez, Laëtitia Pujol, and Stéphane Phavorin, supported by the Paris Opera Orchestra's rich musical score. This blend of classic narrative and modern presentation makes it an interesting piece for collectors of ballet adaptations and contemporary interpretations.
