San Jose Dance Theatre is excited to bring the classical ballet “Cinderella”, choreographed by Artistic Director Mariana Zschoerper & Artistic Associate Augusto Silva, to bay area audiences!. The ballet will premier at the California Theatre in downtown San Jose May 19th -21st.
Cinderella is a classical ballet composed by Sergei Prokofiev, first performed in 1945. Prokofiev’s music for the ballet is renowned for its sweeping melodies, lush orchestration and charming melodies, making it an enduring classic that continues to be performed all over the world. With its timeless story of love, kindness, and perseverance, Cinderella remains one of the most beloved ballets of all time. Audiences are certain to be delighted with the ballet’s humor and beautiful dancing.
Cinderella is the first full length production under the directorship of Ms Zschoerper & Mr Silva.
