What is My First Ballet: Cinderella about?
Step into the magical story of Cinderella. Poor Cinderella is left with her sharp‑tongued stepmother and two noisy stepsisters, and a house full of chores and shadows, that is until a letter arrives inviting her to a Garden Ball. Guided by the spirit of her mother and the magic of the forest, she embarks on a journey of transformation, hope and joy. Will she meet her Prince Charming?
This production is tailored especially for young audiences, aged 3+. A narrator helps children follow the tale, and the music is a shortened, recorded version of Sergei Prokofiev’s ravishing score. Bright, accessible and full of wonder, the show blends storytelling, ballet movement, and music in one seamless experience.
Cinderella is the latest in a long line of kid-friendly ballets from the English National Ballet, and returns following a successful run in 2020. The ENB have made it their mission to make ballet fun and accessible for all ages with the ‘My First Ballet Series’, which first began in 2012. Previous child-friendly productions include Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty, with the venue also offering workshops for children so they can learn even more about the production.
