The Royal Ballet: Cinderella

About This Movie

The Royal Ballet's 2023 rendition of Cinderella is a celebration of Frederick Ashton's choreography, marking 75 years since its debut. The atmosphere captures a classic fairytale with a blend of comedy and romance, underpinned by the enchanting score. What stands out is how the dancers embody their characters, particularly in the way they express emotions through movement—it's a real treat for those who appreciate the nuances of ballet. The pacing, while faithful to the original, feels fresh in this revival, making it accessible yet respectful of its roots. And the practical effects, from costumes to set design, create a magical realm that transports you to a different world. A lovely piece for any ballet enthusiast.
