The ballet by Sergey Prokofiev represents one of the most charming stagings of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale of the modest and graceful girl who, unlike her two step-sisters, did not hunt for her luck and still won the love of a handsome prince in the end. This staging of Prokofiev’s ballet by the outstanding Czech choreographer Pavel Šmok and the Prague State Opera ballet chief Pavel Ďumbala, immediately became one of the most successful performances of the Prague State Opera. The main roles are performed by the outstanding soloists Miss Lucie Holánková (Cinderella), Mr Michal Chovanec and Mr Ondřej Novotný (the Prince) and Mr Milan Boček (The Step-Mother). A review printed in the Financial Times of London said after the first night that it was the best imaginable introduction to ballet for a child spectator.
