Cinderella

It's a fairytale that everyone knows: one for ballet beginners and seasoned goers alike, Cinderella, choreographed by ROH founder Frederick Ashton in 1948, is back on the London stage this Christmas. The ballet first returned to the capital in 2023 after an entire decade, and now it’s back again. What a treat. This isn't an austere and sombre performance like some ballets, this is a fun ballet, filled with over-the-top costumes, glitzy sets and jaunty tongue-in-cheek choreography. It's guaranteed to be a good time.
