The clock is ticking till the magic begins. Join the cast of the Northeast Atlanta Ballet as they bring to life the enchanting story of Cinderella. This beloved tale features the comedic antics of the ugly stepsisters, magical fairies, and the classic love story of a beautiful young girl and her prince.
In search of a bride, Prince Charming hosts an exquisite ball for the fair ladies of the kingdom. But as the nasty step-sisters depart for the ball, Cinderella is left sad and alone. Suddenly, her mystical Fairy Godmother appears to transform Cinderella into a princess and she is whisked away in a magical carriage to the palace of Prince Charming. When the Prince sees Cinderella arrive, it is love at first sight! Don’t let the clock strike midnight….or you might miss your chance to see this exquisite production.
“This is the 4th time that Northeast Atlanta Ballet has presented this spectacular production”, states Board President, Marsha Byokawski. “The scenery is unsurpassed. Our custom designed scenery for Act 1 was built in Atlanta by professional scenic artists. It takes 12 people to move this set as it transforms to the forest scene where Cinderella meets the Fairy Godmother.”
“While Northeast Atlanta Ballet is known for having elaborate costumes for all 15 of our full length productions, Cinderella has some of the most gorgeous tutus in our extensive collection. They were custom designed and built by a costume house in Russia!”, exclaims Jennifer Gordon, Artistic Director.
This season’s production of Cinderella will have live music by the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Robert Trocina, at all 5 performances! This marks the first time in their eight-year partnership that they have been able to obtain royalties for Prokofiev’s sumptuous score. “Excited is an understatement”, says Gordon. “We were so disappointed that we were not able to budget the royalties back in 2011. (The last time Cinderella was performed.) This is going to be some production!”
The Northeast Atlanta Ballet has been serving our community for nearly 20 years. They have remained true to their mission of providing top quality training for aspiring dancers and providing affordable, professional quality performances for our community. Northeast Atlanta Ballet ticket prices have remained affordable for families by securing local sponsorship and through the thousands of labor hours that are generously donated by untiring volunteers.
Families will laugh at those crazy stepsisters and marvel at the dynamic dancers, inspiring music, regal costumes, and superb scenery. Don’t miss out on this truly memorable experience! Perfect for audiences of all ages.
