Brand new to Boston audiences, this dreamlike production of Cinderella with iconic Ashton choreography has been lovingly restored by Boston Ballet scenic and costume artisans. Watch your favorite Company dancers bring the epic story to life with all the artistry and emotion you can imagine. A timeless love story sure to inspire and delight the whole family, this full-length classic is set to the highly-acclaimed soaring score by Sergei Prokofiev. Presented in three acts, Cinderella was Ashton’s first full-length work for Sadler’s Wells Ballet, which later became The Royal Ballet, and is still regarded as one of his greatest works.
