The good old story of Cinderella through ballet

CINDERELLA may have got to marry her prince charming at the end of the story but what happened in their happily ever after? Ballet Ireland has produced a brand new take on the Cinderella fairytale that picks the story up from where the couple return from their honeymoon.

Ballet Ireland will take their Cinderella production to Glór next Thursday, December 10 at 7.30pm where the tale picks up after the ball and the most famous lost shoe incident.
The ballet continues the story past the wedding scene to the perhaps not quite so ‘happily ever after’ Cinderella and Prince Charming. The hero and heroine duo struggle to overcome their differing backgrounds and Cinderella’s humble beginnings as she settles into being a Princess. There are some hilarious scenes to open the ballet as Buttons and the Ugly Sisters prepare for the homecoming of the couple.
What Cinderella doesn’t realise is that the prince has bankrupted his kingdom and he may well have to auction off Cinderella’s gowns, a wedding present from her fairy godmother. Needless to say, all’s well that ends well and their financial problems are resolved due to Cinderella’s thrifty ways and the pair truly are on the road to happily ever after.
Ballet Ireland’s Cinderella is choreographed by Morgann Runacre-Temple, who has been choreographing for the group since 2005, creating over eight works for the company including two full-length collaborations: A Christmas Carol and Die Fledermaus with artistic director Gunther Falusy.  
The evening will open with a short ballet Lyric Suite by Michael Corder.
