Introductory Matinee: CINDERELLA
Members of the production team take part in the approx. one-hour introductory matinee for Cinderella. They report on the rehearsal process and explain their view of the piece. A few short sequences from the choreography are shown to give the audience an idea of the dance techniques used in Christopher Wheeldon's ballet.
