The Joffrey Ballet
The Joffrey Ballet will become the first American company to present Sir Frederick Ashton's "Cinderella," which is widely considered one of the greatest ballets of this timeless fairy tale. The classic rags-to-riches story comes to life in a dazzling full-evening ballet set to Sergei Prokofiev's brilliant score, composed specifically for the work.
Originally created in December 1948 for England's Royal Ballet with breathtaking sets and costumes designed by David Walker, the traditional story of Cinderella is performed in three acts in just two hours.
The program will feature live orchestral accompaniment by the Chicago Sinfonietta under the baton of Joffrey Music Director and Principal Conductor Leslie B. Dunner. "Cinderella" will be performed by The Joffrey Ballet at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, 50 E. Congress Parkway, October 4 - 15, 2006.
Single tickets, priced from $20 to $130, are currently on sale at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University box office, all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, by telephone at 312.902.1500, or online at www.ticketmaster.com.
