Alice Reyes' “Cinderella” Set for Gala Night Opening on Nov. 28

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The smash hit of the holiday season with the best romance and laughter formula is coming real soon ! Yes, the undisputed masterpiece of classical elegance and magical production of CINDERELLA is back !!!

As a special pre-Christmas treat, Ballet Philippines shall stage anew Alice Reyes’ CINDERELLA on November 28, 2014 – 8 p.m. at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo, Cultural Center of the Philippines.

CINDERELLA is the best loved fairy tale of all time about a poor girl whose true worth is recognized not by her family but by a prince bearing her lost shoe.

“ I have always wanted to do a ballet for children – Cinderella was the perfect material. After all, I can’t think of childhood without Mother Goose and Cinderella. Working on a full-length ballet patterned after the traditional classic form presented many problems. The easiest way would have been to adhere to the Cinderella scenario already established by such noted choreographers as Petipa, Fokine, Sergeyev and Ashton, among others. What kept me on track in my version was the one thought that eventually became a guide: the ballet was for Chris and Sara and Marco and Carlo and little Alice and all my wonderful little friends who keep bringing “wonder” into my life. I would like to give them something back in return.”

“ Thus, the garden divertissement with animals dancing for Cinderella; two talented girls playing the stepsisters rather than men; a warm fun-loving King who wanted grandchildren; two princely brothers of Prince Charming to lighten the palace scenes; and lots and lots of dancing.”
