Cinderella

An adaptation of Charles Perrault's fairy tale by Rudolf Nureyev, putting Cinderella beneath the spotlight. A young woman is victimised by a morbid family, and her only wish is to escape the oppressive world in which she evolves. One day, her kindness is rewarded: while she runs to help a person who needs help, she changes her destiny forever. This character, who embodies the fairy in Perrault's tale, is a Hollywood producer... And this is how Nureyev turns the film star into a modern prince charming. This 2007 recording features the refreshing version of Cinderella that has featured in the repertoire of the Paris Opera Ballet since its creation in 1986.
