"The target audience may be children, many very young and some attending the first ballet performance of their short lives, but that doesn't mean stinting on production values."
"This year's 'My First Ballet' is Cinderella, danced to Prokofiev's original score, and like previous editions, cut down to a very digestible 80 minutes including one interval."
"Designed by Rachael Canning, this Cinderella places the story firmly within nature, which young Ella loves."
"The focus of the show is, of course, the dancing, and to the last person, this small young cast brought the story to life."
English National Ballet's 'My First Ballet' program presents a high-quality adaptation of Cinderella, designed for young audiences. The production features impressive sets and committed performances by ENB School students. The show, lasting 80 minutes, includes a lively narration that enhances the experience for children. The set design, created by Rachael Canning, incorporates nature elements, while the choreography by George Williamson effectively conveys the story. The performance aims to captivate both children and adults, marking a memorable introduction to ballet.
