“imaginative and … rhythmically smooth
and lively.” Principal and soloist credits with

cinderella synopsis
2014-15
Madison Ballet’s production of Cinderella features the 17th century French version of a story
that Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev set to music in 1945.
When her widowed father remarries, beautiful Cinderella is forced to live the life of a servant
for her wicked Stepmother and jealous, mean-spirited Stepsisters. Cinderella is treated horribly
and is made to do all the chores in the house. One day, an announcement comes from the
Royal Kingdom that the Prince is throwing a ball to choose his bride from all the young ladies
in the kingdom. The Stepsisters excitedly prepare, but poor Cinderella is forbidden to go to
the ball by her Stepmother. The night of the ball, Cinderella is saddened that she will not be
able to attend the grand event, but her thoughts are interrupted by a poor beggar at the
door. Kind-hearted Cinderella forgets her own troubles and takes pity on the beggar, feeding
her some bread. To Cinderella’s surprise, the beggar is really her Fairy Godmother, who then
works her magic. Turning a pumpkin into a coach, mice into horses, and a rat into a coachman,
she sends Cinderella off to the ball dressed in a beautiful gown and glass slippers. The Fairy
Godmother tells Cinderella to enjoy the ball, but warns her that the magic spell will be broken
at the stroke of midnight, and she will find herself dressed once again in her old, ragged
clothes.
As Cinderella arrives at the castle, all the eyes are drawn to her. She is more beautiful than
anyone the townspeople have ever seen and everyone wonders who the stunning mystery
girl could be. The Prince is enchanted, dancing endlessly with Cinderella until the clock begins
to chime at midnight. Suddenly, Cinderella remembers the warning of her Fairy Godmother
and quickly runs from the castle. In her haste, she leaves behind a single glass slipper. The
Prince retrieves the slipper and vows to find her, even if he must try the slipper on every lady
in the kingdom. With the help of the cobblers, he travels around the world in search of his true
love. The Stepmother’s house is the last visited by the Prince. The mean Stepsisters try to force
their feet into the tiny slipper, but it is Cinderella who fits into the slipper perfectly. The Prince
leads Cinderella away from the Stepmother’s house to his kingdom, where they will both live
happily ever after as King and Queen of all the land.
