Ella–The Story
of Cinderella
by Claude Caron
In this interpretation of Charles Perrault’s tale, Ella lives with an unjust and oppressive family and dreams of escaping her bleak reality. One day, however, her destiny changes, and her kindness toward those around her is finally rewarded.
With lavish sets and costumes, dazzling multimedia effects, brilliant solo dancers and a superb corps de ballet, the romance of our new production will immerse young and old alike in the timeless dream of this fairy tale.
An entertaining ballet for the whole family!
Choreography : Claude Caron
Music : Sergei Prokofiev
