My First Ballet: Cinderella

Everyone's favourite rags-to-riches story, in a beautifully adapted ballet version for children aged three upwards.

Cinderella is tormented by her stepsisters and she can only dream of attending the Prince’s glamorous ball. Abandoned to an evening of drudgery, she is visited by her Fairy Godmother who transforms her into a glittering Princess who shall go to the ball.

With a narrator to help the young audience follow the story, and a shortened version of Prokofiev’s ravishing score, My First Ballet: Cinderella is a unique collaboration between English National Ballet and English National Ballet School.

    This first ballet was lovely - my 4 and 3 year old granddaughters loved it - the narrator was a very good idea for smalls.

    We took a group of five 4/5yr olds yesterday and they LOVED it! Stunning scenery & costumes - really beautifully done. Inspiring to watch for our little ballerinas! Lovely smaller theatre with good seats. We were at the back but had a good view. The show was just the right length to keep their attention and imagination.

    We took our six year old daughter and three year of son, both of whom learn ballet. They were enthralled. I thought a better set for the final pas de deux would have greatly added to the performance. Other dancers in livery lining the stage (although costume changes are an issue), or enhanced palace set, or even glitter falling from above. It seemed a bit ..... barren. On balance, it was a lovely experience.
