Cinderella- The Ballet

$25-$45, School Age $5 "A magnificent must-see"--Duluth News Tribune Don’t miss the Minnesota Ballet as they bring to life this favorite fairy tale, set in the lush world of Renaissance Tuscany. Cinderella’s life is difficult enough with all the work she is expected to do, and her step mother means very well, but, oh, those step sisters! They have all the gawkiness and evil tricks, but Cinderella has all the grace and sweetness. The step sisters flirt with the dancing master as they try to polish up their dance steps. At the ball they try to flirt with the Prince. All seems lost for Cinderella’s chance to go to the ball until the Three Graces arrive to magically produce a gown fit for a future princess and perfect little coach fit to take her to the ball. It isn’t long before the Prince has eyes only for the new arrival, he then will search the kingdom over to find the beautiful maiden who left the ball so mysteriously. Choreographer Allen Fields has created an appealing version of the Cinderella ballet, pared down to its essentials, the story sparkling with elegant dance and livened by the evil antics of the Stepsisters. Cinderella is performed by the Minnesota Ballet company, all professional dancers, but the non-dancing roles of King and Queen are filled by local community celebrities. More Info below.
