Cinderella by Russian State Ballet
Date: April 26-27 - 7:30 pm
Venue: Beijing Century Theater
Don't miss one of the most enchanting and delightful storybook ballets - Cinderella. With Russia's finest dancers, Prokofiev's exuberant music, sumptuous costumes, lush scenery, and comical stepsisters, this performance is a treat for audiences of all ages. The classic fairy tale tells of the virtuous and mistreated servant girl who is magically transformed by her fairy godmother allowing her to attend the grand royal ball. She captures the heart of the handsome prince, but dashes off at the stroke of midnight, leaving only her glass slipper behind. Russian National Ballet Theatre is committed to upholding the grand, national tradition of Russian ballet, and at the same time offering opportunities for emerging young artists. "A cut above many of its rivals." (The Washington Post)
