Cinderella: Paris Opera

About the Event

With this “ballet‑metaphor”, the Company pays tribute to its former director Rudolf Nureyev. A great production that celebrates the opening of the Paris Opera’s anniversary year.

Charles Perrault’s celebrated tale, set to music by Sergei Prokofiev, is transposed to a film set. In a series of references to the heroes of the American cinema, Rudolf Nureyev propels his Cinderella under the spotlights of Hollywood. Because beautiful fairy‐tales don’t belong to books only – sometimes it seems that life is a fairy‐tale, and sometimes a fairy‐tale seems to be carved out of life. This is reteling of the well‐loved classic in an enticing way, providing a dazzling and colourful entertainment for everyone. After all, Love knows no boundaries – that is the magic of life!

    I was unexpectedly unable to attend and was delighted to hear the tickets were transferable. Those who saw the show were thrilled with it. So grateful to ClassicTic for their gracious assistance.
