Cinderella

I've been at the ballet performance last Friday at the Opera to see the tale of Cinderella (Askepot). I guess everyone know the popular adventure about Cinderella, with all it's magical elements, oppression, injustice and rewarding happy end.

This has been a premiere of the new ballet by Tim Rush, and everything was... just perfect. From Tim Rushton's choreography, to Sergej Prokofjev's music, scenery, costumes, light, and finally, the ballet would not be complete without Den Kongelige Ballet, Dansk Danseteater and especially Cinderella (Christina Michanek) herself.


The full cast was first-rate, and Cinderella is full of charm and... well an intelligent flirt.



In addition, we visited Ebisu at Custom House for dinner before performance (see other post), so the evening ended exactly as it began - just perfect.
