Ballet Ariel debuts its 2024/2025 season (and 26th anniversary) with a charming production of the timeless tale of love and transformation, “Cinderella.” This shortened performance has all of the beauty and grandeur, wit and whimsy of the full-length version, where one young woman’s life is forever changed by a fairy godmother and a delicate slipper.
The wicked stepsisters cavort in the most outrageous but amusing manner, hoping to capture the attention of Prince Charming. But alas, in the end, it’s the fair and lovely Cinderella who wins the heart of the Prince.
Performed to Sergei Prokofiev’s captivating score, Ballet Ariel’s talented team of Director Ilena Norton’s and Gregory Gonzales’ original choreography is a dynamic, post-modern classic gem. Ballet Ariel’s Yoshiko Brunson will portray Cinderella and guest artist Pin-Yen (Sunny) Hsieh will play Prince Charming.
The ballet is followed by a Meet and Greet where audience members can come on stage and take photos with the dancers.
