Russian National Ballet Theatre

Orchestra Row T Seat 22
Music from the eponymous ballet by S Prokofieff

Cinderella: Marianna Tchemalina
Prince: Ruslan Mukhambetkaliev
To my relief, the over-reliance on previous knowledge of the plot in Romeo and Juliet has been replaced (mostly) with clearly choreographed sequences of events. None of it seems to match the printed libretto
