Review

This video of Cinderella is a gem that is enjoyable from beginning to end... you'll love everything you see! --ATTITUDES Dance Magazine

Product Description

The fairy tale of Cinderella is based on the story by the poet Charles Perrault and has been performed as a ballet for over 150 years. However, its enormous success came only after Sir Frederick Ashton, inspired by the wistful and imaginative Sergei Prokofiev score (written in 1945), choreographed Britain s first full-length ballet. In this DVD version, staged by the Berlin Comic Opera Ballet Company, the beautiful prima ballerina Hannelore Bey dances the role of Cinderella with tenderness, dignity and alluring grace, while Roland Gatwick creates an outstanding Prince. Staged and choreographed by Tom Schilling, the splendid décor and costumes enhance the ballet s inventiveness, vision and fluidity while dancers perform to the music of a full orchestra conducted by Siegfried Kratzer. Highlights include the ballroom Pas de Deux for Cinderella and her Prince, and the comic roles of her stepsisters and stepmother. The world-acclaimed Berlin Comic Opera Ballet has a history spanning over 230 years. Adapting classical Russian technique, the Ballet Company has always felt a responsibility to make ballet accessible to the young by staging special performances as an introduction to the art of dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Precise Cinderella., January 9, 2005
By J. M WILINSKY (teaneck, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cinderella Ballet (DVD)
This is an excellent performance and presentation, empasizing very precise, virtuosic dancing. Since the choreography for this and most of the classical repertoire is not set in stone, it suffices to say that the choreography here is intersesting, lively, and virtuosic. A good sense of humor is important in this ballet and it comes across very nicely here(after all, they have the word "Comic" in their name!). Since there is not much competition in Cinderella dvds, this qualifies as the best around(but it is excellent in its own right!).

4.0 out of 5 stars If you love ballet...., February 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cinderella Ballet (DVD)
...you'll love this recording. Even if you don't love ballet you may enjoy it. I have had friends borrow it who normally would never watch ballet and tell me they enjoyed it. Believe it or not I bought this as a gift for my husband while I was trying to track down a copy of La Cenerentola. It wasn't what I expected (my fault) but we were anything but disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars A rough night at the ball, May 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Cinderella Ballet (DVD)
This is really not very good, I'm afraid. The choreograpy is inept minus, the sets almost non-existent, the studio in which the ballet was filmed far too small, and the handsome prince nudging forty (Roland Gawlick, incidenally, View Videos, not Gatwick as you list him on the sleeve!) Hannelore Bey, as a charming, rather gamin Cinderella, is the film's saving grace. The score is heavily cut, and the choreographer's mis-treatment of the Waltz of the Stars has to be seen to be mis-believed. Otherwise it has historical interest as a souvenir of pre-Glasnost Soviet influened East German production values, but not
much else going for it. Save your money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful cinderella
Here is a feast for anyone who enjoys good dancing. Roland Gatwick has complete control of his art. Hannelore Bey is light and airy. The filming is not as good as it could be. Read more
