Cinderella Blu-ray (The Royal Ballet) 2023


Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov star as Cinderella and The Prince in Frederick Ashton’s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches story, showcasing the choreographer’s deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev’s transcendent score. A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella’s ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love.

“... the perfection of Nuñez and Muntagirov’s pas de deux, their regal ease, the incredible lightness of Nuñez’s feet – you could believe she was under a spell. The dancing is transporting, this ballet embodying the fairytale escapism we all sometimes need, telling us everything will turn out fine in the end” (The Guardian)

Superb Performance

Having seen this production of Cinderella, live, on the big screen at the cinema I was delighted to discover that a Blu-ray was available. The performances of Marianela Nunez and Vadim Muntagiro, the rest of the cast and Orchestra are without a doubt a triumph.

Delightfully Ballet

Beautifully created ballet. Music was melodious but no memorable tunes as in the Nutcracker. Still a wonderful ballet

You Too Can Go To The Ball

A glorious reminder of a splendid evening in the second row of the Stalls when it was filmed. Marianela and Vadim as watchable as always and particular praise for Gary Avis and Luca Acri as the Sisters who achieved every ounce of comedy without harming the indelible memory of Ashton and Helpmann in those roles.
Congratulations to our much loved Royal Ballet.

Le plus beau des contes de fées, Cendrillon

Un pur délice! Bravo pour cette magistrale production. Tout était parfait! L'avantage de l'avoir en dvd ou en blue ray, c'est de pouvoir me délecter de ce ballet dans le confort de mon foyer, aussi souvent que je le désire. Bravo à tous les participants au ballet et à l'orchestre. Les musiciens et le chef d'orchestre contribuent grandement à la perfection de ce ballet.
