Event Description
This ballet by Bengt Jörgen is an innovative take on the classic fairy tale. Jörgen’s choreography takes us through the misfortunes and fortunes of Cinderella and her stepsisters. Cinderella is tormented by her sisters until her life is changed by the appearance of an old woman, a seed and magical fairies. When Cinderella wins the hand of her prince, her stepsisters find their world turned upside down. Framing the action are sets by Glenn Davidson that create a fantastical environment based on the idea of the natural world reclaiming man-made structures. Costume designs by Robert Doyle playfully echo each character’s personality.
"This is a honey of a production - one that brings magic back to the ballet stage."
- Gary Smith, The Hamilton Spectator
"Destined to live happily ever after." - Paula Citron, The Globe and Mail
"A classic refreshed." - Michael Crabb, The National Post
"Ballet Jörgen makes Cinderella sparkle." - Sandra Coulson, The London Free Press
