Have a ball with Northern Ballet’s new production of the ultimate rags to riches fairy tale, Cinderella, at the Palace Theatre, Manchester from November 18 to 22.
It is set within a fantasy world of Imperial Russia and embraces themes of magic, loneliness and love.
Duncan Hayler’s (Beauty & the Beast, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) set designs transport the audience through a landscape where Cinderella marvels at the magician and circus performers at the winter fair, finds a moment's freedom skating on a crystal lake and, magically, arrives at the ball, a palace of elegance and wealth.
Northern Ballet is renowned for its interpretations of classic stories and Cinderella should be no exception.
