The magic of a glass slipper. The strike of midnight. Two horrible but funny stepsisters, a Fairy Godmother, a Prince, a magical pumpkin, an enchanting ballroom, of course, Cinderella, the sweet and kind young daughter who is left fatherless. Sergei Prokofiev, completed this score in 1944. It is his most popular and melodious of all time. With original choreography and directed by Carlos Agudelo, the story of Cinderella reminds us that when kindness is shared, it will be returned.
