help Cinderella (Ratmansky) FAQ

Who created the Ratmansky version of Cinderella?

Alexei Ratmansky choreographed Cinderella for the Mariinsky Ballet, then widely known abroad as the Kirov, in 2002. Valery Radin and Miami City Ballet are not the creators of this production.

What score does Ratmansky's Cinderella use?

It uses Sergei Prokofiev's Cinderella score. Ratmansky responds to its dark, angular passages as well as its sweeping romantic waltzes.

How does Ratmansky's staging differ from a traditional fairy-tale production?

The designers place the action in a stylized twentieth-century world rather than a conventional storybook palace. The choreography mixes classical partnering with deliberately awkward, comic, and contemporary-looking movement.

Does this version still include the familiar Cinderella story?

Yes. Cinderella attends the ball, loses her shoe, and is eventually found by the Prince, while the Stepmother and Stepsisters fail to recognize her transformed identity.
