It is a valuable repertoire for the National Ballet of Japan, the only ballet company in Japan to have it in its repertoire. The audience will be entranced by this production of Cinderella; the fairies of the four seasons dancing to the music of Sergei PROKOFIEV, the amazing transformation when Cinderella's magic spell wears off at the stroke of midnight and the humorous portrayal of the ugly step-sisters.

SYNOPSIS
The wicked stepsisters go to the ball. Cinderella is left to mind the house, and her fairy godmother appears, magically transforming a pumpkin into a carriage to take Cinderella to the ball, where she and the prince fall in love. But suddenly it is midnight, and she must not break her promise to return. Using the shoe she has left behind in her haste as a clue, the prince finds her, and the two live happily ever after.
