About this event
Scottish Ballet: Cinders! is part of the programme at His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen, run by Aberdeen Performing Arts.
Scottish Ballet's playful retelling of the Cinderella story returns. Set at the turn of the 20th century in Cinders' family-run emporium, life is sweet until tragedy strikes, leaving Cinders an orphan — and the new proprietor, Mrs Thorne, arrives with three ghastly children. When the Royal Ball is announced, hilarity, excitement and chaos ensue.
What to expect:
- Wednesday 20 to Saturday 23 January 2027
- Evenings at 7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinees on Thursday 21 and Saturday 23 January
- Choreography by Christopher Hampson, designs by Elin Steele, Prokofiev's score played live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra
- On some nights Cinders is a woman swept off her feet by her Prince, on others a man swept off his feet by his Princess, and some performances feature a female Cinders meeting her Princess
- The Herald: "This new Cinders delights and engages all ages"
