“Cinderella” is a ballet for the entire family. Who doesn’t know the story of the humble but virtuous girl who begins the story sweeping ashes but ends up a princess? Cinderella’s belief in charity, humility, and goodness is so elemental that her faith alone allows her to surmount a family situation fraught with wicked step mothers and step sisters.  Join us for an evening of enchanted

dancing.

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE

Artistic Director:  Elena Radchenko

The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their new-found creative freedom by starting new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian Ballet but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to accept new developments in the dance from around the world.
