An enchanting fairy-tale ballet!

The romantic fairy tale of Cinderella ranks among the most beautiful and dynamic ballet compositions. The libretto is based on a well-known and beloved fairy tale - the romantic love of a hardworking and obedient servant girl and a prince, its awakening, development, obstacles along the way, and the fulfillment of a dream.

Cinderella is humiliated and tormented by her cruel stepmother and selfish stepsisters as a servant. Hard work and harsh words accompany the kind-hearted and selfless girl through her daily life. Her deepest wish to dance at the royal ball is granted by a good fairy. In a beautiful dress, unrecognized yet admired by all, she enchants the court and especially the prince. The twelfth bell stroke ends this magic, and Cinderella hastily leaves the ball. During her flight, she loses her dancing shoe, allowing the lovesick prince to search for and find his chosen one.

In its imaginative staging, the ballet ensemble from Naples fills the old legend with new brilliant colors. Despite a conservative approach to classical ballet, the production is modern - thanks to innovative stage design and perfectly crafted costumes. The language of classical dance with its fluidity is masterfully combined with the expressive forms of contemporary dance.

The finest classical ballet training of the dancers is evident from the opening scenes, as are the stage design and costumes that emphasize the fairy-tale beauty of one of the world's most beloved stories.

A true ballet treat for young and old!
