Boston Ballet launched its 2008–2009 season with this timeless story, told in a fresh new way by acclaimed choreographer James Kudelka. Premiering in Boston in 2005 to rave reviews and perfectly matched with Prokofiev’s evocative score, Cinderella is the magical tale of a plucky housemaid’s undying belief in happiness beyond her drudgery, and the transforming power of love. Versions of the Cinderella story span hundreds of years and countless cultures, yet Kudelka’s approach is unique. With Art Deco-inspired scenery and stylish Roaring-Twenties costumes, this production features all the enchantment of the well-known fairytale, daringly re-imagined for a contemporary audience. An evening sure to delight audiences with its whimsical elegance — and pumpkins that appear in surprising places!
