Thursday 12 December – Cinderella

This Christmas, be transported into an ethereal world where a sprinkling of fairy dust makes dreams come true. This enchanting ballet by Royal Ballet’s founding choreographer, Frederick Ashton is a theatrical experience for all the family.

Stuck at home and put to work by her spoiled stepsisters, Cinderella’s life is dreary and dull. Everything changes when she helps a mysterious woman out…With a little bit of magic, she is transported into an ethereal new world – one where fairies bring the gifts of the seasons, where pumpkins turn into carriages, and where true love awaits.
