Cinderella - Scottish Ballet's glamorous production

Following sell-out performances and widespread critical acclaim, Scottish Ballet returns with its spectacular Cinderella, sponsored by Bank of Scotland.

Choreographed by award-winning Artistic Director Ashley Page and featuring sumptuous sets and designs from Antony McDonald, this production sees the fairytale transported to a decadent 'Vivienne Westwood meets Andy Warhol' 18th Century France...but with a twist! Presenting over 40 amazing dancers, along with a 60-strong orchestra performing the beautiful Prokofiev score, this is the perfect treat this winter and is not to be missed.

This glamorous production will be opening at Glasgow's Theatre Royal, and then touring through December, January and February to Edinburgh and Aberdeen - as well as premiering at the Grand Opera House, Belfast and Wales Millennium Centre - a first for the Company.

For those of you familiar with the Company, there will be six additional Cinderellas throughout the tour to Claire Robertson's principal role: these are Soon Ja Lee, Tomomi Sato, Sophie Martin, Patricia Hines, Ruth Garcia and Martina Forioso.  There are also six Princes - Eric Cavallari, Adam Blyde, Oliver Rydout, Tama Barry, Greg Dean and Christopher Harrison - a number of firsts for this production!

Don't wait until midnight to secure your seats!  

Did you know?... Production sponsors, Bank of Scotland are proud to have supported Scottish Ballet since 1985. Cinderella's ball gown is inspired by the haute couture gowns of 1950s Christian Dior. The 18th Century period costumes of the characters are inspired by the designs of Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano. The sets are inspired by the acid palette of Andy Warhol. The Company of Scottish Ballet goes through an estimated 1,170 pairs of ballet shoes in both the rehearsal and performance period of Cinderella. Each tutu alone can require up to 40 hours of work and in excess of 10 metres of net.  There are over 8000 individually hand sewn sequins, 299 different fabrics and around 57 costumes in each performance. Members of the Public can sponsor a prop or costume from Cinderella - an exciting and unusual Christmas present, from £10 for a length or ribbon for Cinderella's pointe shoes, up to £800 for Cinderella's Swarovski encrusted tutu. There are audio described performances available for those with visual impairment. Scottish Ballet was the first dance Company in the UK to audio describe dance.
